Hey Mater, the answer to your question of”how big will the engine be?”, Is, NOT BIG ENOUGH!! Unless, of course, it’s a CHEVY!!

A wise man once said “It’s not the size of the engine that matters,it’s how you use it”.

……. Mikey 😀 , …. we just cant run chevys 🙁 , ….. i just cant reach the distributor 😀 ❗ …………….so we had to clean the block to get the new crank in it to check the clearance of the crank its self 😯 and the rods bolts so not to hit the bottom of the cylinders 😉 , after that we massaged them for clearance and then cleaned up and bagged it for the next get together 😀 ,……………… OH yea Mikey 😀 , this car is coming to a lane next to you ❗ 😆 ….enjoy ❗ …………….. tomato 😀

Since I’m a GM guy, I’m guessing some type of stroker, maybe like a 347? I’m guessing a stroker because of the special work on the rods and/or bolts. Did you already post what it will be? Oh well, looks nice. I like all the shiny parts. Good luck with it. ………………Mikey 😆

P.S. My shortblock is done. Just need to degree the cam. 😀 I, too, have pictures!!

……….. Mikey 😀 , dont forget for one minute that we “Luv U” very much , no we didnt say how big it was 😀 , and the parts are shiney only becuase there “new” not chrome 😀 , remember the cook out for saturday nite at “Lebanon” when you come up Mikey 😀 , we should all be able to really throw the BULL then 😀 ❗ ……………… mater 😀
