Engine getting there... a little sample
« on: May 07, 2011 - 06:52:56 PM »
So to those who don't know...

I bought Mopar Al's 500 stroker he had for sale last year.

Between him, and a few other members here that have built stroked motors I'm finally getting it together.

Despite it being a complete motor less intake & carb, I opted to make this an aluminum headed engine and freshen up my accessories.

I will start a thread with parts lists, where I bought from, why, my personal thoughts and answer any possible questions at the time.

I've done this with a couple of other "projects" such as the front end rebuild I did with good response, so this should be about the same.

Till then, I got the heads torqued down and had to share  :wave:
