Post The motor is finally in! (pics)

Well, it's been a loooonnnggg 9 months, but now I have completed the engine and got it dropped in last night, (thanks Will). I picked up the engine from Kim Barr Racing in Garland Thursday night. Spent the weekend painting, cleaning and putting it together. A special thanks to Brandon-79Big10 and Will-Smokey55 for the help. I have never had buddies like them, willing to take time out of their day to help without me even asking!

The engine: 69 Chevelle 396, started life as a 375 horse, now: bored .060, 10:1 comp., Engle Cam 238/244 dur. .541/.559 lift, 110 lob sep. Weiand Stealth intake, Carter 750 electric choke. You gotta love the Chevy Orange that just screams LOOK AT ME!!

I should be ready to fire it off Wed. night! I am keeping my fingers crossed! The tranny "should" be back tomorrow and ready to stab. I can't wait till the 500 mile mark. If all goes well, Keller's here I come, Friday night.

Hope you enjoy the pics!
