Wow ! Steve its realy coming along ! Can twait to see it run ! Congrats !

 

wow looks like you doing it right. i like how clean it is. just wondering what did you blast it with to get it that clean.

 

Yeah I want to get that think between the frame rails allready!

Thanks man. The Block was put through an oven-bake @ 525* for about 40min and then went into the blast machine which uses lead shot to blast all of the burnt contaminants off the surface, and then into a shaker to get out all of the lead shot. All brand new machines at school. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity while I could.

 

Absolutely man, your school is well equipped! What school do you go to?

 

That's how shipping with summit usually works with me too... Engine looks awesome man, can't wait to hear a first start.

 

Yeah it is very well equipped. I go to Citrus College in Glendora, CA


Thanks! Neither can I. Just want it to be finished already haha.
