Before this gets too far, I love to give a very special thanks to:
Chris Coriell @ ECS,
I can not thank you for all of your help and hard work through this project and I know I am a PITA but you stayed with me and I really appreciate it. When I come up to get the fuel system plumbed we're going to have to hit hooters or the hot spot for a couple of beers.
Jason @ Texas Speed and Performance,
Brotha, You have been a time saver lately, If I can help you guys out in any way let me know.
Phil

Just an update:
Both motors are at the machine shop, rods should be here monday. Bearings, springs, valves are all @ Calico Engine Coatings getting coated Diamonds says the custom pistons should be here any day, they will go to the machine shop for a day than to Calico. ET should have the heads finished next week so they will be here within 7 - 10 days. We sat down and put a list of goals for these 2 346inch motors...
600 crank - 530-550 flywheel for the solid roller(254/260)
550 crank - 490-510 flywheel for the hyd roller(238/242)
Both cars are shooting for > 10.49 all motor and we're going to add a healthy dose of nitrous on both.
Whats the 346cid record again? We'd like to see both cars go 130+ on the motor before we start adding the funny gas.
