Well, It's gonna just be a stock 3.1, but I figured you guys would enjoy pictures of the build. Crate came this morning. A little worried about the condition of the crank because the crate was poorly made, but time will tell. Here's some pictures:


This is how it sat at NAPA when we went to pick it up.


Un-wrapped.


Lifter Valley


Oil in the bottom of the bag, which leads me to believe they actually test ran it for the 30 minutes they say they did before shipping.


Overall I'm still kinda concerned about it. The crate was very shoddily built, and I'm worried the crank took a hit or two in shipping. Time will tell, still kinda pumped I finally got it.

 

were there any parts of the crate that were crammed up against the crank or any damaged areas of the crate that were hitting the engine itself? if not, i wouldnt be too worried about it.

 

I got it on the stand. Crank is fine, I was just expecting the worst. Gonna be painting it tomorrow, I'll have pic's.
