Not Ranked
I need to sort these pics better...
Here's the short block going back together. At first the machine shop thought the crank would clean up with a polish (it was already 10-10 from the previous build). It mic'd ok, but when I installed it in the block with Clevite bearings, it just wasn't smooth enough. Sent the block and crank back, they re checked the block and said it was still fine, but went ahead and turned the crank 20-20 and installed King bearings. Much better fit.
Pistons installed, cam degreed, etc. We chose a Schneider ground hydraulic flat tappet cam - 290/300 duration, .525 lift (230/240 at .050). Admittedly its on the mild side, but we wanted a streetable motor that will be fun to drive, not an uncontrollable beast.
