New Years purchase

[Ilike 72"s]

picked up my parts Friday afternoon.
Started with a 1999 350 Vortec engine--machine work done with a .030 over bore. Crank is a 400 turned down to fit the 350 block.Went with a dished piston to bring the compression to a driver friendly 9.5.Chose the 5.7 long rod with a floating wristpin and threaded into the rod to accept bolts. they come with rounded shoulders. This was to avoid any grinding on the rod caps and bolts to clear the cam and block with their longer angle and throw.
Pressure washed with soap and water all the parts including the block, crank and heads. Then blew dry with air. Now ready to build
