Did you get your short block yet PJ?

Didn't get a chance to head up there yesterday.
But here's 2 pics The owner (Dana) sent me yesterday.

I'll keep adding pics as I take them or they get sent to me.

nice man, i like hearing news from your side because i just went through this same exact thing last summer. i almost wish you lived closer because i could have checked this stuff out with you.

good luck on the rebuild man, after my car was down for 2 months, you should have seen the smile on my face when i first fired it up. haha, have fun with it man!

LOL, yeah, thanks man. I had a huge smile on my face just from seeing a pic of the crate!
I want to take the shortblock in a back room and have my way with it.

After the exhaust work on the heads, the .15 bump in CR with the Aluminator, and the new march crank damper, I'm hoping to get a small gain.

Any guesses on HP/TQ? My few engine mods are in my sig. Also just finished cleaning the IMRCs

i would delete the IMRC's to be honest with you. you wont lose that much low end at all. i know everyone says you will but thats not really what my dyno sheet shows. i cleaned my IMRC's two times and they always got stuck right after.. deleting them is easy and only takes about a day for the JB weld to fully cure.
