Sorry I didn't get the rest of the pictures like I wanted. Thought I was just going to take it to my builder and we could put it on an engine stand and take some pictures. Instead we took it straight to the machine shop which is a good thing. Did get a few shots of it on the ground.
Left this morning on the way to my builders, about 10 miles from my house my truck started smoking real bad. A BMW right behind me slowed way down. I was thinking WTF. she felt fine. So I take the next exit off and pull over. One of my tanny cooler lines was coming off. What a big mess. I crawled under and tightened it up and went back home and put two quarts of tranny fluid in. Could have been much worse. I could have been out in the middle of no where.
After seeing the Block Rick wants to go bigger Cubes, The block will be sonic tested on Monday to see exactly where it can safely be taking too.
Rick said anything other than 10's in the 1/4 mile will be Unacceptable.

WOW what a PURTY piece of metal. As you well know, I love metal and that just makes my heart skip a beat 
Lol on the trans line, do you remember when mine let loose? I had trans fluid in every nook and cranny of my engine bay 9 qts!
Mark, that engine is going to pull your Denali around like a toy!

This is a shot in the dark...but I'm gonna ask again I hoping the 
doesn't show up again!
You've stated your compression ratio is gonna be 8.9:1 and your goal is +/-900Hp, so it's evident your going FI. Question BEGS, what are you doing? Guy who's building your truck obviously knows a crap load about FI...SO...begging going on here...what are you doing?
My guess is turbo and it's either gonna be twin 67mm's, or one 88mm!
................(this is where you chime in )

Was that yours that was at Ricks pro truck the other day? If it was that is one hell of a nice piece.
