Cool! So for the lights n accessories did u use the factory steering column for the turn signal ignition ect. I'm assuming u will have no more ac or heat now? This is really interesting stuff keep up the good work man

Factory steering column is in it but I won't have any signals hooked up for now. Simple lights for DRL, Park, Hi, Low and fog and rear park/brake to get me back on the road. I might end up with the turn signals later we'll see. Ignition will be turned on via switch in the dash and push button start.

Finally got my motor sold so I went and dropped off some parts at the machine shop today. It's gonna be a budget build but should still run better than the 346 and should work a little better with the F2 as well.
6.0 block, half-filled, studded mains and heads
Eagle 4.100 crank, double keyed
Eagle 6.125 rods
Diamond 4.030 pistons shooting for around 9.5:1 compression
245cc Edelbrocks from WCCH
That'll make it 418 ci, waiting for final flow numbers on the heads and a confirmed compression ratio to decide on the cam.

The only con's of this crank/block combo are ones that I'm really not concerned with (slight oil consumption, and long term durability).
Really the goal here was engine volume to help with what is likely going to be mythical boost numbers for the 4-bolt world.
My last combo was an over achiever beyond belief, and did a lot of things most said would never work, so if this combo ends up even slightly as good, look out!
