Looks real good! That dark color really makes the polished aluminum stand out nicely.

Thanks! Yeah it is Royal Blue from Dupli color. Its even darker in person. Thanks for checkin in!

Very nice looking engine. I like the timing cover detail. I'm
sure it will run as good as it looks.

Thanks! Yeah I wanted to get a billet timing cover but the balancer was put on before I could get one here. lol So made do with what I have. TJ

Hi all, here's a video of when I 1st got the motor back from the shop. Ignore me and all my talking. lol I made this video for a more non 6 cylinder audience that's just me describing everything. When you hear tuesday the 23rd it means last year. lol I've turned into the youtube guru. Thanks fer watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OWjZpTbWRQ

Nice looking!

What is the compression ratio on your engine?

You had to machine out that much material out of the front lifter cover to clear the distributer?
That is quite a chunk of material.

Weight reduction.

Our dist. sits more inside the lifter valley then one would think just to look at. But yes it is fairly deep.

9.5.1 and I got the lifter covers from Mike aka MrHotRod6. So that was the way it was designed. Thanks. TJ

HAHA!

Nothing much to report on the engine lately. Been maintaining the truck. I did get T Lowe's breather adapters and painted those. Still have to put them on. Just need to get breathers and break in oil and the engine is ready.
