    I figured I would post a few pics of the new engine I got to build while I was home for my 2 week vacation. :bananaman:dance::burnout:
    It is a 351W .030 over with Ross forged flat top pistons, Eagle H beam rods, Scat crank, Lunati Voodoo solid lift cam, Lunati solid roller lifters, Lunati push rods, Harland Sharp roller rockers, Harland Sharp stud girdle, Edelbrock polished Victor Jr. 210cc heads, Edelbrock polished RPM Air Gap manifold, Milodon oil pan, windage tray, and pickup, Billet Specialties Pulley set (A/C, PS, WP, 105 Amp Alt), Quick Fuel 780 CFM Vac Secondary carb, Mallory Ignition system, Screw in casting plugs, Block machined to factory blueprint specs for cylinder spacing, block deck and line bore, Doug's Headers, all studs in heads, mains, intake. and the list goes on.
    I have to return to Iraq tomorrow so I will have to wait on the body work till I get back for good in Dec. I will keep you posted on progress when I get back.

    Thanks Jamie, I am not still in the service I retired in 95. I do however have a stake in keeping them safe. I am an instructor there teaching Soldiers how to operate and repair Caiman MRAPs (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) Vehicles.
