Kyle,
Sucks to hear about the motor, I had the same kind of thing happen with a local machine shop, so I ended up having HPE put the motor together.
Engine bay looks amazing painted and cleared like that. Wish I had done something similiar before I put my motor back in.
The hot parts look AMAZING I hope my new kit turns out half as nice that would make me happy
At least you now know that everything will be 100%, with nothing to worry about, might as well change the tranny setup, cause everything else is different now.

Hey Kyle,
How did you go about priming the motor when you first started it? I remember Harlan saying that he thought the initial startup had to do alot with his spun bearings....
I am just trying to avoid this crap at all costs since Nick built my motor too. THough, I got mine as a shortblock and was able to check some things over and do the rest of the assembly

Your car is going to be crazy once its done, I went with the same turbo you have, and a fabricator that is essentially copying the kit you have with a few differences, hes making the headers a bit different, but the same idea.

Kyle,
Everything looks bling as you said. I love to see master craftsmen at work. This is why I love cars so much. When the finished product is almost ready to go in and it looks that damm good! Not to mention the car will definitely be a blast to drive. Anyways, sorry to hear about the motor. Stenod will not let you down.
BTW, buy that forged crank. Now is as good of a time as any.
