The build is about to slow down a little now but figured I would post up to see what people thought and get any advice before I get too far into it.
1992 SC400
Here is my old setup:

And here is the beginning of "Project SC600":

Originally planned on a overbored high comp setup but now switching to a completely forged 408 rotating assembly

This project is where it is because of a lot of help from good friends of mine especially with me being out of town often for work.
As soon as I get back in town I am selling the wisecos and eagle rods and ordering the rotating assembly. Should be getting my ported LS6 oil pump from Texas-Speed by the time I get back to town and my SPEC twin disc is already there so more pics to come soon![Nod](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_nod.gif)
I'll try to get some a little better than cell phone pics next time lol
*UPDATE* 2-21-11
I have great friends lol! Sending me pics while I'm out of town

Only thing I am really worried about is I didnt buy a complete motor swap like most others so I'll have to track down brackets and accessories as well as hose routing and stuff but it shouldnt be too bad. I am using my existing AEM universal race box to control everything so that helps eliminate a lot

Tired of replacing old used motors. Figured if I was going to build an engine from the ground up I might as well do something big. Plus had the right friend at the right time to trade most of my old stuff for a lot of the V8 stuff he was going to put in his 240 so it worked out good for both of us
