na i wont blow it again im going to be able to monitor it alot better this time and have plenty of mods to keep heat down if i ever feel like installing my cobra HE thats next to my car, or taking off my ic plate to get the fitting welded into it.

Honestly i just want to drive the car for a few days then ill fiddle with it

I havent even put in any of my torque braces or poly mounts

Dude, your gonna regret not doing the IC mod while the motor was out. Its is such a BITCH to remove the intake manifold while its still in the car!

I'm happy that you figured it out but I fear that the lack of one oil sprayer on the piston will cause you MAJOR problems.

Time will tell, I will ask my friend at GM what he thinks about the loss of an oil squirter and see what he says...

Its running and that's where it's at! Too bad you couldnt have the hole drilled/tapped out more and use a bigger banjo bolt to hold the squirter!

Wuss. Though I read in the other thread that you have yet to tune it and get it registered. Count me in as one of those "oil squiter will cause you problems down the road" But for now. Get it registared and tuned. Until then enjoy todays Food, Drinks, and Song.

Great job on the build! Its good to see someone make it happen. Keep it up man! I will also be building my engine along with my bro who has a vette zo6 500whp and vast engine knowledge/knowhow. Futral motorsports will put the built crate engine in and tune it for me.
