Default Starting to look like an engine

Well the build is going good now. Ive got the piston to head issue sorted out. It turns out the guy gave me the wrong gasket. But its starting to look like im going to go fast. The intake manifold and headers were just mocked on there The manifold is getting powder coated and tb is going to be an Arizona speed and marine one since they are 4 blocks from me.
