I'm so excited! I got my motor back from the shop that built the bottom end. Here are a couple of pics.
The heads come in on Monday.
In these pics, you can see a couple of interesting things like where the shop had to grind away part fo the block to make room for the rod bolts now that the motor is a 383. Also, my friend thought it was impressive that the manufacturer put their name on the underside of the pistons... whatever makes him happy.
