Thanks guys!

I almost hate to put oil in there, you could eat off the motor right now.

Should have the motor installed early next week and some dyno / track #s maybe the week after.

I can't release the cam specs yet, its a solid roller obviously. The cam specs are going to make you fall over, the lift is over > .730

I have T&D 1.8 Shaft Rockers going on top of those springs.

The heads are LS6 casting with a bunch of custom machine work aside from the porting. Custom machining for the rockers and Alan is installing 3/8" pushrods in there. Also those springs are pink striped Comp 935

Its a very wicked setup and I agree with you all Alan is THE MAN!
