The build is a GO!

I thought I had, but I've since changed my mind.
So what is the word on turbo? Sticking with the 72 and twinning later?
I love this 72, I will run it as a single until I can compound over it.
Started wastegate plumbing. Glad I didn't get rid of that spare block I had. Makes mockup nice.
The mill was $1100 I believe. Have had it for about 2 years now. Probably have about another $1000 in tooling.
I may follow your suit on the long block and all internals. Sounds like its gonna be a killer build!
Other than forged pistons and cement block, my motor will have just about everything. Should be pretty sweet!
I had the main caps dowel pinned to the block and a girdle with arp studs. It was personal prefenence. Between the 3, those mains shouldn't be moving.
That was the allison mount. I made another for the engine...spare allison input shafts are freakin strong
Have you got any other pics of it or explain what you used? I am going to build a transport stand but I would like to have a mount like that I can use on my engine stand to rotate it around.
