Assembly of Project: Bulletproof

I bought this engine from a previous parts seller out in Kalamazoo. Approximately 100 miles each direction from Ann Arbor. I don't have a truck, and my only option at the time was to use my 91 Chevy Beretta. Not only did I pick up an engine, but I also bought a transmission as well. The added weight in my economy car sank it down so far that the wheels rubbed over bumps. I had to lose some weight, so I shed the accessories at a gas station and shaved about a hundred pounds of worthless stuff.

I am currently building this thing. More here later blah blah blah John likes boys.

This is how I got the new engine home from Kalamazoo Pulling the stock L98 heads off- they're heavy!
       
New shortblock looks to be in good shape! Only the crank is left to pull.
       
New block in my apartment, ready for paint. Painted in my room on the stand. Vell ventilated area?
       
Beautiful 4-bolt main caps with fresh bearings. Drilled a dozen holes in the spider for drainage and cooling.
       
Honed the cylinder bores and cleaned them up nicely Cam is in, new main bearings are in
       
Crankshaft is in, after plastiguaging mains Lifters are back in, spider and retainers on. Ready for pistons and rods!
