Parts arrived today and cylinder heads are fixed. Re-assembly begins tomorrow. Only thing remaining is the cam. I'll call the guy's brother tomorrow to know if the b303 it's at his place so I can go and check it out.

 

Brass expansion plugs are done, as well as the cam bearings with a "trick" on the oiling system and the pistons had another" trick" done to them. The piston rings I ordered from Summit were incorrect so I had to get them locally... at double prize Now I'll have to call Summit to arrange the return of the parts. Oh, I almost forgot, the b303 cam is on the bag

 

Now, here's what everyone likes, pics!

 

Quite an interesting design to those rods.

The rods on the right here might work better

 

The stock rods are good up to 450+ hp, and since these 5.0L blocks break close to 500, they're all good, as well as the TRW fox pistons. I wanted lighter forged rods w forged floating pins, but the deal I got for the fox parts was too good to let it pass.

 

The engine's finaly in the car. now it just needs all tje stuff that attaches to it bolted back toghether

 

Getting closer!

 

 

Almost ready to fire it up today if possible.

 

Sooooooo????

 

Not quite ready yet. I've been busy with other stuff, so I've not finished the car. The ignition was installed backwards, so it has to be turned around, with all the spark plug wires Then add water to check for leaks, oil and crank it up and see what happens.

 

It's alive, IT'S ALIVE!!!
