March 2011
Engine being assembled at ProLine Racing in Georgia.
Edelbrock cylinder heads after being ported and having larger valves installed at Keith Craft.
Exhaust port
Intake Port
Before intake was port matched. The intake manifold ports matched up perfectly to the cylinder head ports before they were ported. This shows you why the edelbrock heads really need to be professionally ported.

August 2011 Continued
Prepping hood and scoop for the paint shop. The scoop was riveted in place with rivets that were too short, which decided to pull out one day when I was opening the hood by using the scoop. The scoop was installed prior to painting, so the paint peeled off of the hood with the scoop when the rivets failed.
New Button head bolts. Some will probably not like them, but i think they look good.
Sanded down and ready to go to the paint shop for more sanding, prep, and to have the stripes sprayed.
