Default Finally going back together with it!!

For those of you who have been following I am finally going back together with my forged H/C motor. For those who haven't, I'm started building a forged H/C setup a while back that I plan on spraying between a 250-300 shot on. H/C setup is an MS4/PRC 5.3 2.5 milled@59cc. Bottom end is a Diamond piston/Eagle H-Beam rods w/ARP 2000. Spray will end up being a direct port system lined into my Fast 90. I'm looking for low 11's/high 10's all motor and looking for single digits on the spray. I got all of the bearing issues squared away and everything has good clearances now and spins like butter. I hope to have it back in the car within the next month and get some video's up! Well here's a few pics!

Looks good, I'm going the same route since my stock bottom end took a crap, only probably retaining my MS3 cam. I have the same heads also, what kind of CR are you looking at with the heads milled to 59cc using those Diamond pistons and what head gasket?

by the way the guys at TSP told me I could expect mid to hight 10's with teh 2.5/MS3 cam combo and my 4500 stall with the stock bottom end, so with ur's and the ms4 and the added compression I would think you should be looking for 10's on motor for sure at the least?

That would be nice to be able to hit that number but I'm not going to hold my breath lol. I don't want to get too excited...
