He had a 10mm stroker and a 2.5 s400 from E.D. When it popped. Adding some 60% over injectors now, since the stock ones were bad and caused the hole in piston.

flexplate installed, I use factory bolts over the arp bolts. I like the idea of knowing they aren't going anywhere, I've never been able to take factory bolts loose with a 1/2 impact, where as the arp bolts come right out.

Turbo plumbing is Bengal blue. Kinda hard to find a color to go with it. But gold and black go with everything lol

The paint was just flaking off on its own?

You've got to tear it back down to a short block?


Ya, It didn't stick I guess it had an oily residue on it. It's my fault since I didn't wipe down with alcohol before. I skipped an important step trying to save time and it's now cost me a lot more. I'm just going to tape off the covers and heads and try again.
