Engine re-build coming along

TYTILIDIE

METH HEAD
I am almost done building my new motor. I started onMonday have run in to several snags. Here is what the build will consist of:

Stock block .040 over with 4-bolt conversion
Forged Crower crank with small journals
6.0" Eagle rods
custom JE pistons 8.4:1
KB cam (I know its old but it works)
Vortec heads ported with 2.02's
Crane gold 1.6 rockers
52mm Throttle body
PT67GTQ
3" RPM DP with ITS WG
3600 stall converter

I am hoping this time to keep this thing in one piece for a couple years. Here are some pics I took of the build up










I am having problems with the driver side exhaust manifold. I had to take it to get welded (had a crack). I also had an issue with my machine shop and their ordering skills. They ordered an M Select pump with a 3/4" inlet. My tube had a 5/8". I mean really, they had it right there, how did they not notice this when they ordered? :roll: So once I get that stuff tomorrow and go pick up my re-stalled converter, I will plan on having the motor back in the truck by Saturday.

Looks pretty good,why'd you go .040 over? Was it that out of round, or was it 030 already and you just went one size up.
