Did you build the motor, or did you order the short block assembled already. Looks great.

Why did you go with the 1.175"/5.315" combination?

well i went with it because its prolly gonna be a daily driver for the next 6 months or so. i know the whole oilring thing is pretty much taken care of now days but i wanted to be on the safe side and also go with the longer skirt. if it wasnt my DD id definately have went with the 1.090"/5.40"

Nothing wrong with that at all!

Did FS not want you to go with the 1.090"/5.400" combo?

no not at all they were willing to go with any setup that i wanted there customer service is top of the line. if you want it they will build it even after your block is finished and he gives you the call that it is crated and going to be shipped out the next day he asks if there is anything else you want.
