Once I started adding the extras on the engine getting ready for installing tomorrow, I didn't think it was this big when I pulled it.....:nilly:

Break-in oil drained, new oil installed, new oil filter (yes it is a Fram but my Wix racing filters are on order) new water seperator filter, fuel lines all up-graded, check ball removed from fuel tank outlet, new electic Areomotive fuel pump mounted BELOW fuel tank and the oil filter was split after the dyno run......also checked all plugs and did a compression test.....motor goes in tomorrow and should have her flashed up by Tuesday or Wednesday......:crossfing::wink:

ha!- I know what you mean. When I bolted the blower and all the stuff onto my 502 on the stand it seemed to double in size. I was worried my poor little Harbor Freight "1000 lb" engine stand was going to fold like a cheap suite, so ended up hooking my cherry picker to the front for extra support!

You are probably going to do this anyway but! Get the engine wiring harness on it now!

the thread. Sooooo. Big block with turbo's??? Is the intercooler on top
of the engine???

Can't wait to see that thing run. It was rock solid before, and I'm willing to bet it will still be rock solid at the new speeds. :yes: You can give me the Depends. I might need them trying to keep up. :nilly:
