Nice, so how long before you are up and running?

In my head, I should be a LOT farther along than I am. Being that life is getting in the way of this "hobby" I'm going to give myself 2 months to have it running. I'm not doing anymore bodywork than what I've done so far for this year though. (Still might shoot it flat black so it doesn't look as "ass" as it does now)

Engine is 2276, was going to do a 2332 but ran into problems with crank supplier, then rod supplier with the chev journals etc. So I kinda settled for the shorter stroke. I guess it's not really "settling" it'll still make good power.

Specs:
2276 9.2 CR
5.5 CB H Beam Rods
82mm Scat Nitrided Forged Crank, wedge mated, Type 4 center bearing
Norris Cam & lifters, 292 Duration, 538 total lift
1.25 ratio rockers (easier on the valve train)
Steve Timms Stage 2 heads 42x37
Mahle 94mm pistons
44 IDF's
Gene Berg 1 5/8 Merged Heater Box system

I went through Scat on the Crank/Flywheel. I'm sure they farm it out, not sure to who.
