What a great build. Such a blast you can do it.
Friday I got the cylinder heads disassembled and cleaned up the valves to inspect them.

The block was also cleaned and prepped for machining.

Tuesday, I'll align hone the block. When that's done I'll either hone the block or start porting and polishing the cylinder heads. Friday I get to spend a bunch of money on parts.
I have no idea what I'm looking at, but it looks nifty :thumbup:
Nice! Looking good so far. Makes me want to get started on my Dodge 318...which is a wimpy engine compared to your 6.0 6.2, but nevertheless a project. It all comes down to money and time doesn't it....:wacko:
Good luck, not that you'll need it.
You can make a 318 really go... I have/had one.
O darn, maths gives you more displacement, so more torques and HP. Well done.
A few stock driveline parts may not like more HP and TQ, but I sure will.
Which driveline parts? Are you sure you don't want to beef up those parts too?
It sounds like you may be taking a risk by not upgrading other parts, a pay-me-now or pay-me-later situation.
My driveshaft and axle stubs are still stock. Everything else has been beefed up. I'm not overly concerned with either at this point. I know of guys making considerably more power than I will be on stock parts. :) The next big thing is going to be a driver mod. I'm going to take some PDX classes once the car is done.
