My Camaro's Engine Rebuild

I had a bearing going down in March and a rod started to knock. The rebuild is coming along smoothly. We are just taking the bottom end apart now. Here are some pictures of the progress.
1971 Block, 383ci Stroker.

The Crank:

And finally, the car sitting hoodless collecting seed pods, notice the exhaust drooping. I should be getting a 4 inch cowl hood by the time the motor is ready to go back in.
