Hey Don, While you are over in Afganistan supporting us here in the USA, I am moving forward a little each day inching your project to Carlisle time. Here is something to give you insomnia for a day or two. Don't get too distracted tho, we want you to come home in good shape.
Here is what you have
Full CNC ported and blended 440 source heads, set up with all 10 degree stuff and clearanced for 3/8ths push rods
Short block with billet steel main caps and girdle
Balanced 493 stroker with diamond forged pistons and total seal rings
eagle rods and crankshaft all balanced local
Fluid dampner
Indy dual plain intake
proform 950 carb
comp cam roller set up
The Indy intake out the box needs machine work yet. , still need to install the valley pan, need a new bronze distributor drive. The one I have if for milodon long rotor, need to make push rods and set the valves, dip stick, mounts and other small items yet. But you are well on your way
