Motor build has begun...

I dropped off a good core motor at a local machine shop yesterday. I know quite a few people who have had work done at this particular shop so he comes recommended. As a purist, I'm not interested in tweaking each NHRA rule to the extreme. However, I need to make some decent power. I expect the block to check out okay as it showed little scuffing and still had cross hatch visible in every cylinder. You have love efi 5.0 blocks - they are so hard that most of the beating is on the piston. Provided after the tanking everything specs okay I plan to re-use as much as possible. Am I naive - no. Cheap - yes :)

Next post will be shop updates.
