Is that "Bling-In-A-Can?" We did some painting down here in Phoenix today too, but I'm not posting any pictures until she runs. I almost can't take my eyes off my engine bay...

That engine is looking badass...the gunmetal VC = whoaness.

Brings back some memories of last year when I was putting everything together on my engine. Though I ended up getting a pre-built shortblock, if I do blow it up, I'll take on building it myself the next time.


Gotta love winter

Looks really good Blair. I did almost the same thing as you with my rebuild, I didnt' put in forged rods either. I did however put in some Wiseco 8:8:1's new water & oil pumps, mls head gasket, mopar gasket set, etc. I just bought some 270cc injectors and a recalibration kit for my cartech. I'll probably try to run 10-12 psi and call it a day. I show my car way more than I take it to the track. Any way here is a pic of mine just before I put her back in. Enjoy!!
