The engine has hand-clearanced seals and light exhaust porting done to it.

It was rebuilt by the late guitarjunkie28. RIP

I'm innocent I tell ya, INNOCENT! I'm honestly not trying to stir things up, I always enjoy Eric's posts, hoping to see if he has any words of wisdom / thoughts / recommendations for Danny's build.

The block is basically bare as of now. I would take a pic.., but its pretty dark out.
Most of the stuff is on the shelf. The LIM is a spare one I have lying around. I did not take the LIM off the current motor yet.

These wires are an eyesore. Definitely need to work on them.

A little something to continue the aesthetics.

Still lots of stuff to work on until it comes out, when I get close, I pickup the hoist.

I am really not looking forward to working on the harnesses. Its going to be a PITA.

haha! More Bling!

What are your plans for the alternator and throttle body?

I polished the throttle body and painted the alternator back in September. Both are holding up pretty well. I plan to get the alternator powdercoated one day since paint is a pain to handle, but I don't plan to disassemble it again anytime soon.
