Default Almost ready

The last of the parts have started to get here. I will begin assembly of the engine in the next few days. I cannot wait to drive my TA again.

Lightly ported Trickflow heads done localy. Im going to run the comp 280xfi cam. Im using an eagle crank and eagle rods with forged domed pistons to recover the compression. Ive got all the bolt ons for it. Ive also been working on getting a plate done on my nitrous setup as I intend to run somewhere between 150-200 shot of nitrous. Im in the process of selecting a stall converter.

Excellent man. Do you already have the rotating assembly?

I can't wait till I get the spare cash to redo my LT1. LE2 package looks tempting to me at the moment.
