Default Anyone of pics of the inside parts of an engine?

I have to write a memo about a process for some stupid class. I and a couple other guys decided to do ours on "rebuilding an engine" (specifically a SBC). I was curious if you guys have engine pics? Like any one of them tore down any dirty... or any pics of internal parts that are screwed up would be great (like a good picture of a cylinder that needs to be machined or worn out pistons, crank, etc.)

I figure if I can find them anywhere, it would be here :yesnod:

thanks!
Brian

Joe, Why do you always refer to it as your "project car" and not a 34 Ford? That is some car you are building. :cool:

Joe, Why do you always refer to it as your "project car" and not a 34 Ford? That is some car you are building. :cool:
I call it my "project car" mostly because of this being the Corvette Forum just felt a little funny about the Ford thing. :D

But, it is a Chevy Engine (and Fiberglass for that matter) and much of the mechanicals apply so I don't mind posting a question once in a while to help move things along. By far, this is the best forum on the internet and that's because of the people here.

After a year and a half and some last minute setbacks I got to take the FORD out for a test drive this weekend. Didn't go far but what a blast. Once I get the final valve, carb and timing adjustments tweaked, it should kick pretty good for 2500lbs. I've got a few chassis (ride height) adjustments to make as a result of the test drive but other than that it was great.

Thanks!!!

I really don't think the people here care its a Ford. YOU are our friend, not the manufacturer of the car. :cheers:

I have some pics on my website that I took while I was building my engine. It's pretty much step-by-step for the most part.
