no nice numbers yet I'm just waiting to see if this little v6 can keep up with the v8 thats sitting across from it in the pole barn

grr, waiting on head gaskets to come in and then the engine can be completed at the machine shop. Had to special order them (mls cometic 4layer) and it takes a bit for them to come in.

Just got the engine back from the shop this weekend and it is now set to go! So now I get to install the engine a second time into the car and hopefully everything works great now. I am just ready to get this build over with and enjoy the car again. Here are some carnage pics as well as the engine back together after I put the accessories and such on it yesterday afternoon preparing it for the car again.

Didn't know you were running a Holden manifold! Nice engine, good luck!

I thought maybe his project name "project HOLDEN your breath" would give it away! haha.
