Thanks bro
I can't wait till its all put together.. been waiting too long. I still need to finish the fine polishing on the intake, but its much more glossy than before. I should have a polished intake, intake elbow, throttle body, CAI, and valve covers. Gunna be blingin! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Well after all of the BS with work, school, and just my all around busy schedual, I finally found time to dig into my engine again. Put my rings on this afternoon at home and just installed the pistons and rods about an hour ago. Still need to torque down everything.. but everything has been installed. Waiting on my paycheck and tax returns so I can buy the final things for my long block. Still need to buy a clutch kit, CAI, 1" intake spacer, motor mounts, different rocker arms, tranny mount, head gaskets, intake gaskets, header gaskets, harmonic balancer, and a mass-air flow.. almost there. Its gunna be close, but I'm still hoping to have this motor in and running for the mile of mustangs cruise. Wish me luck
Here are a few pictures from today:
Installing my rings
Pistons are going in..
Shortblock assembled..
Gettin an idea what its goin to look like. Just finished polishing my valve covers.. still needa go over the intake..

Thanks fellas!
Cornoil.. I've heard about what your turbo setup can do.. VERY impressive.. and thanks for the compliments
Hilltim.. My original plan was to run 42s.. now I think I'm going down to 30s. Reason for going to a big injector is because I will be running a dry shot of nitrous and don't wanna run lean. Better to run too much injector than not enough.. you can always lower fuel pressure to lean out the A/F ratio a bit.

Dan, they should be moly since that's what I had my teacher order me. I double checked with him when we got the rings and he said the "M" in the part number represented them being moly.
Had to order new rings because Summit sent me the wrong set and I didn't feel like shipping them back.. so my teacher took the set I had and is keeping them so that I can pay the difference for the new set. Summit sent me rings for an older 302 and they were WAYY to thick.. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Most metric ring packs (why your original 5/64 rings wouldnt fit) are moly.
Part number has nothing to do with moly in the 70 or so sets I have ordered but maybe you used a different brand.
Either way great build but as your teacher knows there is a finish hone for moly coated rings and there is a finish hone for cast rings and they are different ........

Hmm.. I never knew that Dan. I will bring that up to him.
Another thing.. Is there a specific head gasket that you personally use for these edelbrock performer heads?

I'm still in the same spot. I don't have time to work on my heads so I'm trading work for work.. I'm working on my instructors truck in return for a valve job, new intake guides installed and a resurface.. only gotta pay for parts. Was shooting to have it in by the knotts cruise, but I don't feel like rushing it. Planning on taking off all of the old tape and wire loom off my wiring harness and redoing it to clean it up while my motor is out. And I'm more than likely going to install a tubular K member. I just wanna do it right without having to worry about if my car will have issues going to LA or not.
Sounds like a pretty solid motor that you're building. What plans do you have for your car? Drag? Road race?

Don't do the tubular K bro.. My car is in pieces and I was so close to ordering one and doing it while the motor is out. However I just couldn't see the real benefit of it now. Do one thing at a time. If you than before you know it you will have a shell sitting on four jackstands with nothing. It hopes and dreams lol...

The benifits include having a lighter front end and being able to get to certain bolts especially header bolts a hell of a lot easier from underneath..the tubular k-member is one of the best things I have bought for my car..it has saved me a ton of time, headache, and bloody knuckles when wrenching in tight spots..well worth the money imo
