Just about Ready!
 

Well, after an agonizing 6 months without my car, it is nearing completion. The motor is together, were just finishing up timing, and once the chain is in and the cover is on, its gonna have oil in it.The clutch and flywheel are ready and waiting to be put on and the tranny is sitting happily in the garage ready to be manhandled. The engine spins BEAUTIFULLY. Its like its pushing sticks of butter instead of pistons. .020 oversize, .5" shaved off the block. All new sensors and injectors. Thing will scream. Ive also nicely painted almost EVERYTHING lol, brackets, covers, block, oil pan, you name it haha.
Im very excited for this to me done, I miss my bass, I miss my 3rd pedal, I miss my fuel economy, and I miss my handling. Trust me as much as I love this turbodiesel f350 im driving, its a pain to have 5 months in a row.

Heres some pics to tease yas.

Nice frigging job, man. Almost makes me wish I was a young man again and doing that kind of thing. Almost.

Am I reading that right? One-half inch off the block ???????

nononononono i meant 5 thousthanths of an inch lolol

OK --- .005 I can believe ........ hee hee hee

That really does look nice, if it runs as well as it looks it should be out of sight. There is a great amount of satisfaction in doing something like that.
