Default 106MM GN update

Here's some new shots, it's up and running. Still a 347 with a rod and piston upgrade, thermal coated 317s with stock diameter ARPs.
Stock block, crank, caps. Meziere EWP with a 16v alternator mounted down low on custom made brackets, belt driven vaccum pump.

The owner plans to use it for 95% track, 5% street. It already had a built rear, cage, and a 400 with a Tbrake

Nah.. I wish.... The headers and crossover are polished 321 with double slip merges like my 67. They'll turn gold when it hits the dyno, and we'll coat them when they start to look old, but for now they're nice to look at. The cold pipe to the TB is our chrome ceramic, and the DP and exhaust housing are the hotside black like you got.

LOL, Still awesome work all around. My coating is flawless, car was running stronger than it ever has until it ate the tranny

Guys this is the place to go for your coating needs if you want/need anything coated.

Biult the motor? The motor is built. The owner is going to switch the longblock for a LSX or Warhawk based 6 bolt/cyl block eventually, but this will get the job done for now.
