I'm curious about why you did not go with the split port as well...and you should clean the bay up a bit and paint the block.

I got ya when money is tight you do what you can do. At least you will have better pistons in it and new bearings, by the way are those stock compression pistons?

i think so, i really dont know but the new piston is way bigger than my old one. even that hole in the middle of the new piston is bigger and deeper (sorry dont know wat its called) but i will get all the info once everything is done. and i will also take it to a dyno to see wat number i get

Sounds like the new parts are going to work out great. Also the new color combo for the motor is worlds better!! Great job man. Are you painting the block black?

not gonna do that right now, im gonna wait until i get my gears n tlok



and to answer the "block painting ?'s" im going with red cuz since black wont be a very good idea, when i get oil leaks it would be hard to find out were its coming from and for those people said to paint it ford blue, sorry not going with that ethier cuz i really dont like blue

and thanx for the comments yall

Red should look pretty good with the intake painted that way. So long as it's not Chevy orange, I'm good.
