Default engine is almost together

Heads, intake, pushrods and roller rockers are on and valves adj to specs. Checked for clearance of headers. Tomorrow going to paint the oil pan (Moroso orange? now I want the same black as the block) and start mocking the pulleys up. I got some 1/2 price billet to use if it will work. Will take pictures tomorrow. Getting closer!!

Pictures tomorrow I guarantee. Not sure if it will be "perfect" but it should be powerful yet driveable.(I hope) My wife's uncle is old school and very knowledgable.
