Default Update and Photos on my engine rebuild

Last August, my motor spun a connecting rod bearing on the crank and seized.

Since then, the motor has been torn down and machined. I have also taken this opportunity to go with open chamber heads. In the interim I have also removed the front suspension and steering. And as long as everything else was out I decided to replace all of the wiring forward of the firewall.

Anyway, I am just getting the hang of this digital photography thing and I have parked some of the recent engine and head photos on Yahoo. Click here to see pics of the heads and block fresh from the machine shop.

I am just waiting for the crank to be delivered and then it all starts going back together.

Thanks for all the good pictures! But the more I see big blocks, the more I want one!
