Install date

The motor will be installed on Jan. 2 2012.

She is starting to come together.

Today is crank and piston day.

Today I will be installing the crank, installing the pistons, and degreeing the cam. I am getting very close to having the motor done. I am waiting for a break in the weather so I can get the engine bay painted. The build has been going pretty smooth so far. I will post more pictures of the motor as I install more components.
