Default early christmas

Well guys, santa came early this year

[IMG][/IMG]

probe forged pistons, scat forged i-beams with arp cap screw bolts, bearings, melling m99hvs pump, arp head studs, arp main studs, scat 9000 crankshaft... other misc things, comp beehives (new design), new valve locks, new retainers, gm847 camshaft.
running low on funds for the meantime, so holding off on assembly until i get the heads done. but figured i wanted to share! still waiting on the oil pan, and a few other things to make it in.

definately. it wil be a while... im fully completing my car before i take it out... (paint, wheels/tires, rear, motor, cage... the whole deal) so it will be a while before i get out driving around. its killing me, so i have found other places on my budget to skimp to fund this project. business has been down a bit, so unfortunately my budget is a bit under par. but the good news, i might have my daily driver sold so that would be about 4500 onto the project. we will see though. anyone need a good reliable DD? 2000 mitsubishi montero sport white with tan two tone?
