I like what you've got setup there... but one thing...
-stock forged crank(already have)
which is it, a stock cast crank, or a forged one? lol
Looks like you've had a lot of time on your hands
Thanks for serving our country, and I hope you make it back in one piece!

the block is a Mr. goodwrench "profromance" block, it was sonic checked before it was done .030 over, I'm hoping I can talk a machine shop into going only .040 over with it, the reason I want to do a re-build on it is I don't think the rings ever seated properly back when I origanally built it in '98 because it alaways had some blow-by, and just before I left it was starting to get really bad, probably because it had a set of no-name-brand forged pistons and rings the machine shop had "laying around" and I was a H/S kid w/ no $$$ so I went for it, and I don't think I followed the break in prociedures either...again I was a stupid H/S kid. The crank is a forged crank out of a early 70's truck 350 I had laying around in the back yard (the block was cracked where someone droped it), and I already have the 2-pice rear-main conversion flywheel for the T56. Also dose anyone know a good machine shop, paint shop and a good salvage yard(for the interior and T56 setup) in the Las Vegas area?...bear in mind that I will be returning to LV late Oct/early Nov '05
