Default Almost ready
I blew my stock LS3 shortblock with damage to new cam and stock heads but I am about ready to unleash the new engine.

SDPC 416 stroker short block with Callies rods and crank with Wiseco flat tops. This is the pre install. Cam Motion custom grind cam. Has new melling oil pump and timing chain. Didn't have time to repair old heads so i bit the bullet on new TFS genx 255 heads. To keep it in the car HSC motor mounts. Final touches will be done with HP tune!

That's a piece of art! Almost too good looking to cover it up under a hood.

It's the small things like seeing marked fasteners that give you a feeling this is done right. I'll bet it's going to be a blast!
