Motor looks good. When are expecting the car to be running?

 

What are the blue items in the lifter valley?

 

Well, I am moving august 15th so I am hoping by then.

the blue things are lifter valley vents, they prevent oil from dripping on the cam, and robbing HP, or so they say who knows if the actually work

Thanks

Assembling the motor is my favorite part of a car project! Nice looking engine, from the parts you listed, you'll be ready to pack some serious ponies through it

 

Looks awesome man .. jees those dishes are huge!

 

Actually, you'd like to have oil 'dripping' on the cam/lifters. It's what the oil drips on, underneath the cam, that is to be concerned with.

 

Looks good! Sounds like you'll have a wicked setup

 

Been there, done that. It seems like everytime I'm ready to do something, I need more bolts/hoses/etc . The little stuff can be aggravating, but the end result sure will be worth it.

 

Who 'speced and had those bad *** pistons worked up for ya?




My turbo car will live again!

 

I thought you got rid of the Z for a Vette?

 

got some new pics up:
