Yep, will probably be collecting parts over the next couple months and then send the short block out to get built. I should have the block after x-mas. Think I'm going to do an LS6 based 346 or 382. The block will be coming with forged pistons for a 4" stroke crank. We'll see... you know how things are fluid until the last moment. One thing is for certain... I'm going to have to build a tranny. Been thinking about trying to do it myself...

The pics are great on your project... keep em coming
