normally i would say another one bites the dust seeing those pics and considering a 17 yr old tore that apart.
but if you keep at it like you have done so far it should come together fine.
figure out where you want to be at the end of the day,get there,clean up the tools and put them away, take some pics for the forum
good looking work so far.
how about some pics of the parts pile?
if your shooting for 900 hp why did you take the motor apart in the car instead of pulling it first and hanging it on a stand?

the motor is torn apart inside the car, because of space constraints ( i have 8 cars at my house, and the garage is full) so till i get my mustang put back together with its 660horse 431 strokekr and 5 spd, i cant put the motor and trans anywhere.
