Well its not like I havn't done anything in the past 5 months...I took apart my new CNC heads and finished the port work by hand/reassembled them, port matched my intake to my heads, installed the left hardened output shaft, installed the DTE brace, cleaned new block/crank/rods/pistons, installed crank and measured clearences, installed pistons on rods, file fit piston rings to the bores, installed new 225 gallon fish tank in house
and had a baby...

[QUOTE=peter pan;1560153038]Now that is sad, unless you made a major change to the build during that time frame
[/QUO
Not even 1 change. They engine builder took way longer than promised, the guy pulling and putting the motor back in isn't exactly snappy, and the forced induction guys are no speed demons either. To many people doing one project is the problem. Oh well, I come to expect it and I keep telling myself that when I get it back I'll have a huge smile
on my face.

Chris, we all know that having a baby increases the amount of sleep you get
Nice progress on the setup maybe you will be ready for the install in a couple of weeks, I hope so, want to see the first Novi north of 800 rwhp in our area
