oh my god! FINALLY!! *UPDATED* This picture may not look like much, but for those who followed my engine build story, you'll probably know i'm very happy right now.
I had my 228R cam in, and was adjsuting the timing. The timing was off, and when i pulled the cam gear off, the cam pin broke off, half came with the gear, the other half broke off INSIDE the cam. It was a royal bitch to drill it out, and scared me thinking I amy have to buy ANOTHER cam, and loose the head gaskets and bolts. But today, Doug (machinist) came over and got the little ***** out.
So now, ive got the timing completed and the oil pump on. As soon as I get the front and rear gaskets I can finish this motor off, and then let Philip redo the tranny.

My Camaro had.
Ported TB.
LS6 intake
233/239 600 TSP cam
PP LS6 heads
ASP
PS LT's + Y-pipe
FIPKIT
Jesse tuned
3:42's / 6spd
Poly mounts on tq arm, engine and trans.
It would run around 11.50 @121 on motor. Had 150 shot too, used it like 3 times. Never dynoed it or ran it but my bud has an 11.50 GN and I would run door to door and in 4th begin to creep.
