good news now is, you'll double or triple check torque spec on every bolt :)

Lucked out for once.

New bolt just got dropped off from chevy. going to reattempt tonight. And throw the pan on as well.

No pics this update, but bottom end is completed. and Engine mounts are on. Opted for those new lightweight UMI pieces.

Thinking of POR15ing the block just to make it look nicer, any opinions?

Opinions on making it look nicer? Why wouldn't you want it to look nicer? Do it.

Por15 makes red, white, and blue coatings?

Good call BLS.

just you wait son

Some people like the thrown-together, shit-box look

I see the appeal but based on the pics, the car is far from a rat rod.

I wouldnt really consider a clean block thats just not painted black "thrown together ****"

I wasn't meaning you do :wink: I can't see your pictures either so I don't know all thats going on, lol

Block is coated, timing cover torqued down, and EWP installed.

Bottom end is DONE.

That's a shame to cover up

I know :(

I didn't realize just how big the EWP is lol oh well.

Plus the TB is going to further cover that area.

I figured you were going to paint the block all fancy colors

Ive been good with the crazy colors so far. Even so much as ordered all my suspension goodies in black !

Continue the theme on the valve covers & intake!

You need a YouTube channel. Make all the monies.

Red White & Beard?

Thought about doing the same thing as i did to the LS6 with the fast, but opted against. The fast is very very "wrinkley" so tape lines would be a night mare.

On your pulleys!!!!

You would give Cleetus a real run for his money.

Read somewhere that water transfer design options extend beyond Affliction graphics.

Just hit up KB Motorsports to see what it would cost

LOL, do it for Dale!
