Update on my engine overhaul.
When my shop began the camswap we did a leakdown and it showed bad cylinders...
Engine is out of the car, ready for a bore to 468cui with Mahle forged pistons and Eagle rods.
Since i ordered the cam parts from Chris Straub i also had him send me pistons and rods and a bunch of other stuff, this will be a masterpiece of an engine 500+hp and 500lbft.
And as a bonus my shop had a complete chassie kit with upper and lower arms front and back, all fully adjustable that a customer wanted to sell at half new price!
Coming summer will be really interesting!!!

It all started with a cam swap, and then a 468 bore, and now i just got informed by my engine builder that my crank is shot.....
It never ends.... have to get a new one for a lot of money..
If i had know all this i would have bought a new 502...
But, it will be a beatiful 468 when it is finished!!

Should be a really nice combination now once its done....
What are you going to use for heads/intake on it?
I have the Straub 237/245* in a 396 and it drives really nice...Has some thump too..
