What about the radiator. Look into the aluminum one. Let me know if you need a hand. That truck is gonna run great.

Got the engine back from the machine shop they couldn't do anything for my crankcase because it was already ground down too much. But they had another one that they cut .10 and the block is .60 also went with the flat top pistons.

So these aluminum heads were originally going to be put on a race truck. So they were ported out quite a bit and the valves were heavy duty and meant to handle Nitrous if needed. No... I'm not planning on nitrous, that's just what he was going to do before he sold the heads to me. Here is the Melling oil pump bolted down as well.

Put the color of choice on - bright orange, you should be able to see this engine even in the dark baby

We put on the heads and were stopped suddenly when we realized that the new Cam I received was broke in half dangit!!! It sure did slow things down a bit. We stopped there and I have to send it back to Jegs. On the other hand I was thoroughly impressed with Jegs customer service. They said they would send me prepaid shipping tags on Monday and and I would not have to pay for the return shipping as well.

My buddy said it would be a good idea to get some new pushrods http://www.jegs.com/i/Proform/778/66890C/10002/-1 , a lock plate kit http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performan...20305/10002/-1 , and cam button http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performan...20390/10002/-1 as well. So these are on the way.

Here are my shop cleaned oil pan and timing chain cover. We are going to paint them, but we did a quick mockup of the timing chain cover with a gray color my buddy had lying around and the edelbrock performer manifold. I'm still deciding whether I should paint the oil pan and timing chain cover orange like the block, use the gray finish in the mockup, or go with some chrome... Any thoughts????
