    Nice to see you back. Damn that sounds like a nice build. Who build the shortblock since these engines are nototriously bad about being messed with in that respect.

    Lunds Engine and Machine. They resurfaced the crank, bored the block, aligned the mains, and balanced the rotating assembly. I also had them gap the rings for moderate boost and deck the heads. I found some issues with their assembly of the engine (under torqued rod bolts, harmonic balancer not aligned correctly, and rear cover gasket was installed backward). Once I found those issues I tore it all down and checked everything. We will see if it holds together. Finding a good motor to start from is getting harder and harder around me.

    I hope that holds together for all the work you put into it. Judging from the compression ratio on the pistons it looks like you're using an SC engine? If this one doesn't hold maybe try finding an L32 out of a Lucerne and boost it. Compression ratio would likely be similar depending on how much the heads were decked on the current engine.
