Ok as promised I have some pics of my engine as well as some of the parts I've sand blasted. Im thinking I would like them blasted better then they are b/c I want then all nice and shinny. The blaster I have is a small one, only just big enough for the upper intake manifold, but for my first time actually blasting something, I'd say they turned out pretty good. (Sorry for the crappy pics, the camera is kinda old)











I went through My dads buddy's friend. He's an older gent who has about 45 years experience doing engines. He had about 20 something different engines in different stages. He also had a blown 454 that I swear the super charger was on a train, that sucker was freakin huge!

So I was wondering If there was anyone who has balanced the intermediate shaft before? I've seen some on Vortex making them lighter and what not. Is this a good Idea to try or no?

So hopefully Project Anti-Falcon will live, only I think I might have to be switching the name, I've had somewhat of a change of heart. That white car is way to nice for me to tear the hell outta it.

So I'm going to be changing this to Project: Tear Drop heres a hint what whats to come



Much more later.
