the start
stripped down
the stockers
bare block
pistons
rods
a little painting (poor quality, but who cares lol)
bearings

right now the crank & 1 piston/rod is at the shop getting balanced. my Patriot Performance Stage II heads are in the mail (supposed to be anyways), and i'm ordering the cams from MPH on wednesday. i'll update this as the process moves along and i get more pictures to post.
