Look what I found in my block today...
FINALLY got my engine back from the damn machine shop. They did a top notch job, but took for damn ever. Im cleaning it and painting it with high temp aluminum colored paint. All input welcome 
.020 over JE 12.5:1 pistons, Eagle rods and a JUN flywheel all balanced. Should be fun

Wow, nice. I wish i had the time & resources to build up a motor from scratch. Its much more reassuring to know what all the motor has been through when you drop it in as opposed to just picking up some used swap.
Looks like it will be lots of fun when you finally get everything back together

The only things that arent brand new are the block itself, the sleeves and the crank.

Edit: Total job was $446.26 for labor and just over $1000 for rods, pistons and headbolts.

The work was done by Fowler Engine's Inc. based here in Columbus, Ohio. They specialize in tractor pull engines and big *** drag V8's. They kind of laughed at me when i showed them my puny 4 banger block. Still got the job done.. and well i might add. Even have cross hatched cylinder walls

sand the pistons down to remove all sharp edges before installing the head. doing this will allow your motor to resist detonation a LOT better.. and in turn, safer to run on pump gas.

painted blocks look gay.....
Just makes harder to identify problems if one should ever arise.
