im going for that diamond in the rough look. 
no really i just have to get this thing on the road so i can have it drivable for when i move to the west coast in the spring. when i get it out to california and in the garage i will start pulling it apart again and get the engine compartment painted.

This is the only other shot of the engine out of the car...
I gotta whole raft of prgress shots of the engine which I could post but most of them have been out there before...I really need to find a cool utility that will make a linkable contact sheet out of a bunch of selected images and then I could add them to my website.
your looking at a 40 over 350 with scat crank and 6" rods.. Schnieder hydraulic roller cam similar in specs to GM ZZ4 hydraulic roller (just a tad warmer but not by much)...edelbrock heads...and intake.. now bears a holley spreadbore and TUNED BY LARS
