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!!!

that my man, is what i call SEXY as hell - that is swEET looking man - that cobra upper will look damn good on there - make sure it clears the valve covers, you may need that intake spacer - but try it w/o it first - WOW - very ****ing nice man - car looks reallllly good too

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?

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.
