Pics of new engine build!

Well the block is a stock 302 block. The 325 stroker is from Eagle. Forged crank with a stroke of 3.18 just below a 3.25 which would have been for a 331. The rods are forged Eagle H-beam rods 5.4length and SRP forged psitons. I painted the block with High temp paint Rustoleum it was labled as Aluminum. Kind of looks like the block is wrapped in aluminum foil up close. Thanks for all of the compliments guys!!! I am actually putting it in the car this weekend! I will try and post more pics when it's done. I just painted my entire engine bay all fresh white again and I am using some blue convoluted tubing. and have more POLISHED PEICES!!!

Do you think the spacer will cause a decrease in power or torque? The purpose was obviously to clear those covers but also keeping the incoming air charge a little cooler?

Funny you guy's should mention that because I was looking at those last night and though "I should really paint those water pump bolts!"

or order the complete water pump bolt kit in stainless, and dont worry about having to paint them ever again.. and yes it comes with the double ended bolt, i believe the kit is like 60 bucks for all the water pump bolts

so you would rather deal with rusted, corroding bolts rather than not have to ever worry about them again? I have snapped 2 of the double ended bolts off because of rust, and have paid 11 bucks each time i did it at the dealer. i dont see it as a waste. Wait untill the paint chips off the bolts, and the threads start corroding and you have to make a trip to the dealer for another. i like to be pro-active instead of re-active... thats just me tho.
