Any day but May 3rd. I got dibs on Mitch as my three circuit carb tuner for a private track rental.

Thanks! I've got a truck (used) and the barn where the car is at, should be good to go this time on my own.

I'll have several members on speed dial as I'm panicking trying to put it together

Bigger decision.

Do I put a 427 emblem on it

Or a 7.0

Decisions, decisions

Please don't paint that engine Frog Green.

 

[Lead-Farmer]

To spite that fucker I purposely got sideways going around the corner to show it who it's daddy is

Did the CEL come on after you did that?

 

[89 Fox 427]

Rest easy. I made sure to specifically say twice that the block be painted black and not blue.

It was already on. It's the Christmas tree option, lots of flashing lights at all times

Just my opinion, but because it is a build related to a 5.0 liter Mustang, I think a 7.0 emblem is the most appropriate. Take care. Tom Worthington

My thoughts as well. I've been looking and the ones they sell are kind of lame. I was thinking about getting a BMW 750 emblem and making my own out of it

Just get one of these for the grill,

I put 427 emblems on my Chevelle, with the intention of building a 427 small block some day. When I finally stepped up to a Dart block and was starting over from scratch, engine builder said no, you aren't doing that, glad I didn't knowing what I know now about small block Chevy's.

3D print what you want

 

[Torque Command]

Maybe make a commitment to yourself that once the engine is in that you drive 1,000 miles before you allow yourself to do anything else to the car that would take more than an afternoon.

If you're anything like me you might need to force yourself to drive it when it's not "finished."

Just got off the phone with the guy that had my block for almost 8 months.

The line bore was perfect. The mains were perfect. Everything else checked out. He's stumped as to why I had discolored bearings unless something was improperly torqued.

Water under the bridge I guess, but if anyone wants a 351w with scat forged internals, 4.06 bore, 3.85 stroker kit (398ci), it will be available next week.
