Thanks guys.
Got the balancer installed. I got the torque angle on the new bolt pretty darn close. I was worried about pulling the engine over on the stand..
I hacked away at all the extra stuff on the intake I didn't need. This was after I rough cut everything. I did sand it mostly smooth. I should have spent a little more time sanding off my grinding marks but it looks fine for this build.
Spent some time cleaning and painting all the accessories and hardware, etc.
I painted the intake, valve covers and throttle body to match.
Got most of the accessory drive stuff mounted. I realized I need a camaro tensioner to work with the wp so I ordered that. I decided to order a new ps pump as mine was severely corroded.
eBay fuel rails and Snake Eater Performance 80lb injectors installed.
Im pretty happy with how the motor looks. Doesn't look new but a vast improvement over the wait it looked when I got it.
Pretty close to being ready to pull the engine from the truck so I can get this sat in place. I drove the truck yesterday maybe for the last time with the current setup. Ill post more in the coming weeks.
