First: this is my buddy Rex who helped me out by assembling the low end for me back when this was still going in the truck. Since then, I undid a lot of his work (cam, heads, pully, cam timing, etc.) and he's always there to help out via telephone.

Double roller, Edelbrock bling!
Beautiful chambers by Richard@ WCCH

Richard being modest (e.g. WCCH money shot
)
Mmmm-mm-good!
And for those that think I did't have enough to do this summer...

I still have a lot to do...
I've got the dash out, the carpet and seats out, the driveline, suspension, whew...
Oh yeah, I'm also swapping the PCM to a 2002, which is done except for the new wiring for the manual transmission, and then needs to be buttoned up.
I'll probably be tuning this weekend

Very nice setup. Should be a beast when you get it all together.
