Thanks everyone for the comments. I really love cars. Always an import guy, but wanted to go V8. Colt and I always talked about me building a 240 V8-turbo. Unfortunately he passed away. I truly love doing this stuff.

I'm shooting for 500 NA, with spray hopefully 650-680...

That pow should be easy peasy, cant wait to see it come together...

Thanks for the comments everyone. Here are some pictures from another forum that i'm sharing this build with. So, i did try starting the car when i got it back to my garage. It ran for few seconds and sounded horrible. Got the motor pulled out. Took the heads off, but didn't find any damage yet. This was my first time working on a V8





Tore apart the bottom end and found the culprit....





Crank is pretty much fucked. I measured the journal and its about 0.015-.020 difference. I'm going to junk this crank and get a new one. Plan on running forged pistons/rods/upgrade all hardware to ARP.

Looks good man. Nice to know your picking up where your friend left off
