Thanks a lot. I researched and tried a few new things with this build. I have never completely built a GM factory roller before. I have worked on Vortec engines in trucks and SUVs, replacing the bottom end on one and a top end on another. Needless to say this project was a LOT more fun and I can't wait to finish building my Vortec-405, formerly known as my LT1-405.

It'll get it's own thread, and guys will surely pop in and mock me and the engine, just like this one.

Yeah, I got a couple hours in yesterday late afternoon. It was a little hot out but dry. I took the wife for her first ride in it and she was impressed as well.
