My wife gave my unfettered access to the mastercard

My plan:

Shortblock:
SCAT 9000 crank with 3.48 stroke with the 1 RMS
SCAT 4340 I-beam rods with a pressed pin
Probe 21cc dish pison(ceramic coated crowns)
billet mains
ARP bolts

Heads+valvetrain:
the heads are the superflow 190cc heads that have brutally attacked by my and my craftsman grinder
(with ceramic coated chambers and exhaust ports)
ferrea comp 6000 valves
GMPP dual valve springs 140# closed pressure 325# average pressure
GMPP aluminum retainers(matching spring)
GMPP valve locks
AFR hydrarev kit
OEM roller lifters
LPE 213/219 cam with .462/.471 and a 112 LSA
SA Gear timing chain
Catpep 1.5 shaft rockers

intake+fuel:
the intake is a weiand X-celerator low profile single plane
Holley 4779-6 w/ 4-corner idle(currently trying to modify gasket residue is giving me and every solvent in the world a fight)
Racepumps EFI fuel pump
Racepumps boost referenced fuel pressure regulator

Exhaust:
Ramhorns
2.25" remote mount pipe
Grand national turbos w/ stock elbow and intergal wastegates(will modify the arm for adjustable boost) above the frame rail
(2.25" pipe is a big U starting at the ramhorn and going to the other side of the frame rail where the turbos sit)
2.5" tail-pipe with dynomax ultra flows

Intercooler is on the list of stuff to pick out
as is a carb hat(xstream velocity probably)

Cooling+oil:
Howard Stewart stage 3 water pump
Titan speed engineering sportsman wetsump pump(HA HA my oil pump doesnt cavitate neener neener neener)
there will be an oil cooler, and fuel cooler, and a big aluminum radiator(31x19)
shiney chrome 5-quart oil pan

For those that actually read all this, thank you, and comment. I have tried to make it fun, as people tell me I always sound angry on the internet. Comments, flames, threats against my mother?

Oh yeah for your viewing pleasure AUTOMOTIVE ****, see young engines with no covers only 9.95 a minute

heheeh......I USED to do that too....in the kitchen.....between marriages....

I wouldn't do it to this kitchen now that it's done, anyway....too damn much work there....

that engine sitting in that closet/nook reminds me of rebuilding a small sailboat while living in a hi rise....the stench of fiberglass curing about knocked the entire building outta existance....seems the boat was not far from a fresh air intake....oops!!!
