Default forged 347 is in

First I'd just like to say thanks to jayson @ texas speed and dave @ MTI Customer service was great. I'm puting in a ATI D1 kit in the fall, so to sleep better at night I ordered a forged short block from texas speed. Build sheet: ls1 block, stock crank, crower rods, mahle pistons(2cc releaf cut), mti's 2e 6.0L heads, compcams 228 232 578 574 115lsa cam, comp replacement lifters, hardened push rods, double roller timing set, ported ls6 oil pump, and ram power grip hd with 910 disk clutch. The rest I swaped from old motor. I was suprised how hard the car pulls for the loss of compression ratio.I cant wait until I get the blower. Heres some pic's for you guys, enjoy.
