nope, they sure don't. i kinda messed up too, i didn't leave much room to grow on this build, other than to de-stroke it and have new pistons made for, well...whatever....

You know I honestly don't know for sure. Its a custom grind Erik had done. If I remember right its a 258/266 112 with something like .647 lift on both lobes....its pretty healthy.

pics are uploading right now, but i'll go ahead and update the situation since it has been a while, and post the pics when they're done.
The water pump is here, on the motor now. It took almost 3 weeks to arrive
wiring is in progress. I ordered ARP 12-pt stainless bolts for the pump.
Fuel pump relay is finally done, i have pictures of its location and how i ran the power wire to the alternator.
Intake is on the motor, but not bolted down yet, fuel system will be 100% complete tomorrow, i just need to hook the feed up to the rail and make the line that goes from the other rail to the regulator.
I decided upon Autometer Cobalt Digital gauges so my Innovate LC-1's DB Blue gauge would match. i'm going to have to get some hyper white or possibly blue LED's for my stock gauges now to make the interior flow properly. The sending units are installed, just need to do the final wiring.
There are a few other loose ends to tie up, like recovering the stock engine harness with new looms and putting in the radiator, but it is entirely possible that i could start the car this week.
PICS WILL BE POSTED HERE SHORTLY

on a side note, this car would be a LOT further along if Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had not completely taken over my life outside of work

First off, the ARP bolts...i love how they package these things
Gauge senders installed
Relay hidden in console, power wire run through shift boot, under the car and up to the alternator post with a fuse in line.
Gauge pod with Autometer Cobalt Digital Fuel pressure and coolant temp. My Innovate DB gauge is in the mail, i had a red one but sold it for a blue one.
And finally, the water pump:
If it weren't for this bad boy, i wouldn't be working on the car at all. It took the 30x42' shop from 38 degrees to almost 60 degrees in about an hour.
