Default Bling Alert!! Pics of my almost finished engine :)

Well its moving along.. Here is a pic of the engine partially assembled. There are still a lot of parts off at various platers, powder painters and machine shops but you get the general idea.. I found a place that will rebuild and chrome our alternators for only $85 total





Some of the engine goodies: Stage II MMS heads, 224 cam, fully ballanced assembly, ARP bolts (rods, heads, crank pully)

Some missing parts: blinged out Power Steering pump, chromed starter, blue head plate, yada yada

Gonna go check on how the car is doing today..

Thanks guys

Im still deciding on the intake.. sort of goes with the black parts on the engine and while i like how it looks painted I worry about how it will hold up and look overall (especially since half of it ISNT hidden under a cowl).. Opinions?

Street & Performance sells chrome plated plastic intakes, that would look sweet on that engine. Looking great Steve, and I'm glad you stuck with an LS1.

I'd paint the intake the same color as the valve covers or maybe the blue.
