 Block, after honing:
 No more pictures of the unassembled short block, I promise.  Edit: to fix the pics cause I'm a tard [This message has been edited by FastIndyFiero (edited 11-18-2004).]

Erm, no thanks, I'll take my chances with some SBC rods.

Hehe, I use mine as a paperweight. At least it's still intact.

But far less conversational.  I love what you're doing. I have similar plans but I don't have the block yet.

Thanks Toddster (and Orief) for your compliments. In one more month I'll be a year into this project. Time flies, especially now that I'm taking the equivalence of about 21 hours at WSU. Doesn't leave alot of time for work, which, consequently, doesn't leave alot of money left in the bank. I guess this is the time to thank Dad for footing most of the bill for now.

Good to see this thread active again, and the project continuing to move forward! What page is that in the textbook, I still have an old Engineering Graphics textbook upstairs... ------------------

Page 354, I think? The other people in my class didn't understand my excitement on that page. Here's still my biggest problem with this swap:
 The SBC bolt pattern on the end. My plan so far is to retain the pattern on the crank, and machine a bellhousing spacer to sit in between the engine and the trans. Then of course a custom aluminum flywheel. Now I play the waiting game again, though.

Well, it might take longer still if I don't get the right flywheel.
