Got my new motor to the builders!
Well the title says it. I went & picked up my new long block on friday. Its a 99 SO long block with 88k miles. & also dropped it off at the diesel engine builders on the way home. Its getting compleatly torn down, hot tanked, magna fluxed, Ballanced & blueprinted, Its also getting a hamilton "Big Stick" cam, new push rods, & valve springs, The Pistons & barings are getting coted, & also getting O-Ringed & studded, Along with some head work Once its done Its going to get a nice paint job on the block & some powdercoating on the valve cover, Intake horn, & intake tube. Im also thinking about throwing some mach 4's in it instead of the 120's I have in the currant motor See the cracked 53 block is just a good excuse to build a NICE motor

So is there anything else I should be doing to the new engine? Its all apart now & now is the time to tell him if anything else should be done. Please give your input. TIA

Where are you getting the work done at? I would be interested to know and if you would recommend them for other guys here in Southern California.
