You talkin about the FRIENDS dvd collection or the LS1 parts? Just joking man, looks like you got a real selection of quailty parts there. Good luck with your build.

Yeah, gay as it might be, I'm a pretty big fan of Friends lol. Cracks me up.

Yeah, I've got a ton of parts it seems like, and more on the way. I'm a long way from the end though. I just hope the rest of this build goes well.

This made me a little nervous. Maybe this has been fixed, but I was concerned nonetheless. I didn't hear one bad comment about Callies however. I know that the Eagle are about $100 less and for the power that I hope to be making (450 NA; 600-700 with spray) they should be more than enough rod.

Yeah, I'll be getting the rods soon. I just haven't made up my mind yet on which ones I want to go with. I'll probably stick with Eagle. Then I'll be getting everything balanced. I'll probably drop the block and pistons off tomorrow to get bored/honed and cam bearings changed. I'm getting pretty itchy to get this thing back together!!

Yeah, my gf got me into Friends. I thought it was retarded at first but I was cracking the hell up a while into the seasons. Definitely a good show. Now we're starting to watch House, another pretty damn good show.
