I can do the same thing to your deck with a hack saw for half the price. Keep that in mind the next time you need block work.

Found your engine builder:

And the rest of the shop crew:

The decking machine:


Seriously, I hope you are successful with this engine. Hopefully the catastrophic mistakes made with the 402 build will not be repeated.

It's a pity you have to be so overly sensitive. I am just stating a fact. That decking job looks like absolute ***. Hopefully it won't give you any trouble. If you doubt ask any engine builder other than the one you just used. I have one in mind. I'll happily give you the info. I take it they are the same ones who built your 402?
... and with that build in a 3300lb car, assuming it is 100% should stomp all over anything LT1 solid roller anything. I would guess you should be in the high 9 second territory...

There is nothing to be overly sensitive about.. I'm admiring your ignorance about some marks that are about one-hundred-thousanths of an inch deep.

Depends on the Gears..I'm not going for the extreme setup here..I have 3.89's with 26" Tires going on it.

I'll let SS RRR answer that one..he seems to know more than me about the Engine that I have just built & ran in my car for the past 600+ miles so far.

Hopefully it's just the light. Maybe take some other pics at different angles.

26" tires with that kind of power? Leave it to you to **** it up and **** it up good.

Honestly by far that has to be the most ignorant, dumbest thing that I have ever seen you type.

Let me finish your statement..
"Go take pics of the Deck of your Block that is currently assembled into a running Engine that is installed in your car.."

Fckn epic fail..

You've avoided this question twice now, perhaps you didn't see it so I'll ask again- Was the shop that built this current short block the same one that built the 402?
If this engine does have any power and does hold up and is not anything like the 402- 3.89 gears + 26" tire= f-body in Supra clothing.
