Is this a fresh engine? If so what did you have done?

Looks like you are getting close!

It has been awhile so I can't remember, did you build that engine or did you have it built?

When are you going to drop thatpuppy in?

haha ya its been a long time, 2 years since i took it out..

im 16, and i started it when i was 14, i have done everything to it, and all the moeny for it has come out of my pocket..

i took the engine out, and tore it completely down to nothing but the block, honed it and started putting it back together

thers not really a whole lot done.. cause im on a extremely tight budget..
But i got an edelbrock fuel pump, summit racing cam, new water pump, rebuilt the oil pump, sand blasted every part and repainted it ( even EVERY SINGLE bolt ), reamed the cylinders, new piston rings, i had the crank re-ground and i got new barrings.. umm, thats the stock intake, but i plan on getting a new one soon ( as soon as money allows )... really like i said most of it is stock, just with a little TLC and some elboe greese and a bit of paint..this is at the auto shop at my highschool.
