MAN.. I'm so envious. If i wasn't in a wheelchair, Had more money, and a shop. I'd be buildin up a 6.0 like that.
The last engine i put together was a 350 bored to a 366.
You did a Heck of a job. Thats what can be accomplished with hard work, Dedication, and a strong check book.
Very Nice Job!

Congrats grippy! Now you can do a little assembly at a time. Did you get your blower finish situation resolved? Also, were you doing a little main motor harness modification to better place it? Would like to see details on that as it comes together.

Good job man!

thanks bro, it has been a long road for me(like many on this board), still lots to do. The last SBC I put together was a small journal 327 that went into a 67 Impala SS.

Way to go Grip!!
Now the real fun of putting the puzzle together begins.
You sure have a large chunk of it done now though.
Great work bud.

man Bill, I've been putting off the the whole blower finish thing, I really don't know what to do here. The obvious easiest route would be to re-paint it, I've also been throwing around the idea of polishing it but that might get expensive since it's already assembled and might be more difficult.

Not sure about the harness yet, Joe is supposed to show me how he did his, may just leave it as is for now

You could always have it coated Grip. I think I'm going to coat my intake (I know, I know) with a heat coat. The local guy (FX coating from tech) has a beautiful chrome looking coating...

now that the case is machined I believe that's out of the question
