HAHA, I knew some people were wondering how it was going. I did manage to get the cage and floor pan painted with por 15. It looks great. I tried to upload them one night but I lost the pics in the process. I need to get some new ones.
That's about it really. The past few months I have been spending a great deal of time trying to get on the Fire Dept. I want to be a full time fireman and run my body shop on my off days. My father and brother both work for fire depts and I thought it would be a great thing for me to get into now that I have a family!!
I've applied at three different departments. So I've been at the gym almost every night getting in shape and studying for there written tests. I'm still in the running at Pike Township on the NW side of Indy. I find out next week were I rank out of 150 people who passed the written test. From 400 who applied!

So, now that that is kinda winding down I'm ready to start assembling the engine now. I need a few parts for the top end but I at least want to get the bottom end assembled and start measuring what head gasket size I will need to run.

The parts I need for the top end.
1. Caddy lifters, something happened to my comps, one of the pins fell out of the roller, so I do not trust them now.
2. yella terra ultra lite adjustable 1.7 RR's.
3. full set of engine gaskets. I think I'm going to use a set of fel-pro head gaskets this time.
4. GMPP bow tie valve covers.

I will post some pics of the cage now that it is painted. And I hope to have some pics of the short block all built in a few weeks.

Actually the pics were still on the camera, good. Here they are.
