JPR 427 Almost Finished!! Pics inside. Well I was bored today & I was off from work so I figured I would go see the car. I havent even seen it since April so with the motor almost complete, I thought I should pay here a visit. I took the new truck and drove down to Joes. It was a nice drive no traffic good music, all in all a good experience. I got to the shop to see Dave working hard on my car. He is doing most of the assembling, while Joe is taking care of the details, like P-V clearance, pushrods etc. This was the first time I met Dave, he was a nice guy and cool to talk to. I must say that when I saw my car after more than 7 months IT WAS A SHOCK. IT LOOKED SO SWEEEEETTTTTT. I forgot how awesome the car was. Well I stayed about 30-45 minutes BSing with Dave and then I took off. Traffic coming home was a biatch!! Massive accident on the Belt Parkway so that was the brunt of my driving today. Well I snapped some pics of the car. They are off the Kooks Y Pipe, The car from the side, the Crane Daul Spings, the top of the block no intake, and My most favorite pick, the engarving on the block. Here are the picks. I should have the car back late next week.

LOL Thanks Guys. I am very excited. I wonder what I should expect from the dyno? 480-500 seems reasonable. I dont think I will see 520 or whatever that other hydro 427 put down. We will see soon enough.

I am pretty sure the problem with my car is the bottom end. I think a ring or ringland, something with the piston in which I am getting a shitload of blowbuy. While I had the car running the other day after the dipstick popped out again I watched it and it was like a tea kettle pouring out steam. I must have been superheating the oil, I had alot of water vapor as well.

Thanks for testing out the shocks. 
I figured they needed to be replaced so out with the stockers, and in with the new Hal R's up front with the Hal springs & Hal rears. That should give me a nice 60'. 
I also will add the BMR tubular K members and Xtreme rear drag sway bar at the same time. Later you fockers.
I couldnt find a spot to use this
but I had to put it in.
