what pic??

Timmy, im starting this week. going to get all my parts dug out and cleaned. my intake should be back by wednesday-friday then i will be making up my new fuel rails and cross over and putting the injectors in.

i should be set next week to order pistions/rods, then its off to ESP for constuction!!!

this week weather permitting i want to put my plow away, drop off my sleds at sandra's house for the summer, and push my car over and start cleaning under the hood from the winter dust. hehe
im guessing 1 month depending on lead time on custom rods/pistions

last night i cleaned and wrapped up all my parts. lifters, rockers, oil pump, cam, crank, ect ect ect.
also ordered my Nitrous stuff from vinny, ordered my rods from east side and tommorow i go to the machine shop to drop off the block. getting closer.
tonight im going to try to get everything from around my car out of the way. if it is raining, i will work on redoing my 2 stage fuel system down to a 1 stage single noid set up.

good part was, my heads are perfect.
i had 1 thou kicked off, they are nice and flat, spring pressure was mint, and all valves are good, valve job is mint!!
pretty happy i can just slap them back on without spending any $$ on them.

i cant wait to get my rods, i may polish them
