Default New build under way.
Well my buget 355 slung a rod 2 weeks. So i have started on another 355. The 21* heads will be goin to LE in the next couple weeks. He will be doin a full port job, milling, and installin new valves. The new motor will have compstar 6in rods, cp bullet pistons, splayed main caps, hell fire rings and 12.1 compression. He will be portin the intake to match and openin it up for a mono blade tb. The new cam he spec'd is a 236/244 608/608 with 110lsa. I will be sprayin the setup with a 250 shot also.

Sounds like a great build starting to take off. Post some pics of the progress! Seems like alot of the recent budget builds are not holding up to the abuse which is odd i think i see more stock shortblocks taking on more and taking it for awhile. Glad i didnt go cheap and did it right the first time.
