Well it begins. Since this is going in the vette I'm limiting the thread to the motor build itself. Follow along if you care, maybe you'll learn from my impending mistakes
Here's the block, freshly machined with stock crank, all ARP bolts going in...
Here's the stock ported heads, new valves and springs...
Mahle pistons and callies rods...
Piles of other new and not so new parts, hopefully everything to get this thing together. Parts worth noting are Comp lifters, pushrods, and rockers, ported Melling oil pump, Performance dampener. Using F-body pan and accessories. Not sure if I'm going to try A/C, I'm converting to a manual rack and pinion, but keeping the steering pump for a hydoboost setup.
And here's what's going behind it, a built 2004R by BTO with 2600rpm converter and all necessary parts for the conversion.
