Is the fitting on the lifter valley cover for PCV (or similar)? How are you going to get that line out under the manifold (or are you using a different manifold)?

 

Yes, the -4an fitting is part of a custom PCV system. I am using a RGR sheet metal intake. There is about 2" of space from the top of the valley cover to the bottom of the intake.

 

looks very nice!

 

Looks awesome! Nothing as beautiful as a brand new engine on a stand waiting to be installed!

 

At this point, it looks so good, you almost hate to install it

 

Awesome!

 

Nice!

 

That looks very nice How much do you plan on putting down with that 402

 

sher is purdy

 

I am hoping to make 750ish rwhp with the F-1R Procharger I am also installing.

 

nice

 

Looks very nice!

Could you share some details of this custom PCV setup you're installing?

 

what is it going in to?

 

NICE!!! I have been eyeing up the SLP 402

 

Looks great. What does NOT transfer to the iron block from the 5.7? I'm making sure I don't need a new timing cover etc.

 

Looks awesome. I'd have one just like it if i had the money.

 

Very nice, hopefully I'll have something similar within 6 months....

 

hey- great setup. torque and retorque those arp bolts/studs to spec (reminder )

 

As if the 402 wasnt bad *** enough....your putting a super charger on it.
