Default Engine buildup pics

bolted most of the engine up today. Its a 350 so no assembly pics, you've seen them a million times before anyway...The machine shop is so backed up, so my forged 383 is nowhere close to being done (has to be bored, notched, decked, balanced etc by them) so for now I just built up the stock shortblock as much as possible

-Stock rotating assembly
-ARP main bolts and L-19 Rod Bolts
-Melling HV55 high pressure pump
-Canton 7qt pan w/ windage screen and crank scraper
-GMPP fastburn heads,210cc Intake,62cc chambers
-SFI spec balancer, double roller chain
-Tiny 214/224cam,to keep hp peak low so not to over rev the stock bottom end
-Headman headers

-On this motor will be the dual plane EFI mercrusier intake, the built engine will get the single plane converted to EFI
-Homemade DFI with wideband,255lph pump and aeromotive reg





and the dyno predicted runs

Intake question: Will you have to machine the top of the intake down at all to get it to fit under your hood?

I am reusing the stock shortblock for this summer, If i waited until my new shortblock was done it would be fall. This winter I'll transfer everything over to the new block.
