Talking my engine build progress!

hey guys so here are some pictures of the progress with my engine build!

Making a 331 stroker and for now i'm using the stock heads and intake due to having to build on a college student budget! I'm spending extra on the internals of the engine so I have quality parts in it! well anyways wish me luck hopefully we'll be done in a little less than 2 weeks! then i'll be screamin down the streets

Double check all your bearing clearance so it will live a long life. keep posting pictures as you build. It's nice when you are all done and have a book and a car with documentation. Every engine build did for my customers always got documented. I'd burn them a DVD and give it to them with the bill, lol

Dont scream down the street too much lol.


Great work, take your time and here are a few pointers.


Oil Scraper and mounting hardware.

Regular Pressure Oil Pump and clean the pickup screen.

Headgasket, mount the side up towards your face that says "this side up".
You may notice each one look diff, thats perfectly fine.

Use a DAB of rtv on intake,timing cover, waterpump and head bolts that go through coolant passages not threadlocker.

Use SILICONE COATED ROD AND MAIN bearings. Stear away from tri-metal if you can.
