Intake looks good, are you going to polish the raised fins and the "3.5"?

I think so, I'll paint the valve cover first and then sand both.Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

Well, no rings yet. I did get the mounts finally. Tomorrow will do some work on the bottom end and will get some pics of the progress. Going to stop by a machine shop and see what they say about the 533 flywheel, I think it's a good idea to get it re-surfaced since the clutch will be new, but I would like a second opinion.
Crank will come off to install these

thanks man, I can't wait to get this thing finished though. I am just down to clutch kit/guibo/engine/tranny mounts.
those are mounts from Joe, probably 5lbs each!Last edited by Jean; 06-12-2009, 07:07 PM.Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

Almost done with the engine, had a little fuck up moment with the tentioner and had to remove the timing cover to fix it so I got another gasket to order now.
DOH, oil pan gasket got messed up in the process...
as it sits now, need to slap oil pan and do accessories and wiring.
