    I havent had the time to get back to the wiring harness. But i did manage to take my short block to the machinist today using a friend's Jeep. So after some discussion with the machinist, i will be getting Gen 4 connecting rods, flat top pistons, and a .03 bore. Along with all the crank...

    yessir. I did not remove the harness fully. I stopped right around the firewall before going to the NSS. Good information on the NSS, If i had gone that far back I am certain i would have broken it. ;). I will be sure and check out the transmission speed sensor while im at it. Also, yes i am...

    Insufficient in what way? The idler arm is new, most everything steering and suspension wise is new. What is it i should be concerned with?

    Haven't done much lately. I loaded my short block of the trailer to get ready to haul to the machinist on Friday. Hopefully will have it back within 2 weeks. I did however start on the engine bay wiring. I stripped the old wire loom and pvc wrap off the old wires, sprayed the wires with alcohol...

    Correct. We are on the same page. The CEL illuminated on start-up, went out, then came back on and then continued to flash indefinitely. Which lead me to pulling the code.

    Yes. I confirmed the light comes on. It actually flashes within 30 secs of starting

    Honestly I hadn't drove it enough to notice any noise. It had sounded normal to me, or at least i didnt notice anything. Maybe this attributed to my misfire P0300 misfire code and it running rough. Luckily I had told my daughter if you see an engine light or hear something abnormal stop driving...

    When I pulled out the lifters, only one had abnormal wear. It looks pitted. It definitely ate into the lob on the cam.

    Finally got my new engine stand and it was Chinese crap, so I ordered a quality one and don't regret it. I decided to break it in right away and throw the block on it and strip it down to the short block. As much as I didn't want to, I'm going ahead and doing the full send and doing the bottom...

    I saw those. I didn't want to pay the $300 for it. I can always add it later of i want. But for now this will work.

    My engine stand is coming in Monday so I opted to degrease my engine bay and power wash it out. Still could use more. But for now it's good. Thinking about getting POR-15 to paint the frame. I also went ahead and took off what little of my fiberglass firewall was left and put on this sound...

    Engine Color Schemes! Post em' up!

    Actually, I do like this combo. The timing cover plate is a bit of a toss up for me, I do like it matching the block though.

    Engine Color Schemes! Post em' up!

    I agree. Everything a solid color is terrible. I do like the raw mill look on the heads. Unfortunately mine were already painted silver. I'm not a Chevy orange fan myself but I may make the exception if it's just the block.

    Engine Color Schemes! Post em' up!

    I was thinking the same. Black block with silver heads and accessories. I also want to be able to see any leaks easily, so I was thinking a different color combo hence the post.

    Engine Color Schemes! Post em' up!

    Currently dissecting my engine apart, and already thinking about cleaning and painting the engine. I want to see everyone's color scheme they went with.

    She's out boys! I ordered the best (cheapest) Chinese cherry picker and engine stand that amazon had to offer. The cherry picker seemed to be okay, but the hardware was definitely Chinese trash. Bolt heads stamped incorrectly or not at all, but was still able to use them. The engine stand box...

    How the hell am I just finding this thread? I've spent probably $3000 on that site alone within the past few months.
