Update 421 with pictures!! Part 3.
There has been more then a handfull of guys that have shown interest in this 421 build, and have commented if it's a success then they will think of going this route instead of the 383/396 route. The engine builder as most of you know is Jim "tpi 421 vette" and he will be taking some pictures of the build along the way for you guys to see. Listed below are the meat' and potatoes of the engine.
Below are most of the "dollar" parts of the motor. If it wasn't for Jim finding me a deal on some of these parts, I wouldnt be able to do the somewhat "budget 421" build. Thanks alot Jim!
Hope you guys enjoy!
Crower rods.
F.A.S.T. and MSD
Bowtie Block.

And here is a motor that Jim is finishing up. Its a 396. Doesnt she look purdy!
396 for a First Gen Camaro.
Pulling out the car while cleaning out the garage.
My 88 with o.e. Z06 rims, (315/30/18) on the rear with full 3 inch true duals incase anyone is wondering.
Have a good weekend guys!

Rick,
don't use the Allen headed bolts that came with the Miniram.. they are crappy, I ended up using some 12pt ARP which are much better.
the Allen head bolt from TPIS tend to strip easily.. just a FYI

One step at a time my friend. I think buying the F.A.S.T. is going to make the motor ahead of the game!
