It's the tin-zinc kit from Eastwood.

Reassembled 6g74 shortblock Saturday afternoon with cleaned up pistons and new bearings. Look forward to getting back home this week to keep bolting things to block

spent some time in the garage to blow off some steam... did some little mods n such excuse the filthy engine bay..Winter is taking a toll on it

New T-Bolt clamp for throttle body since i didn't have a 3" originally.

New coupler for the MAF-Intake Pipe with new clamps..tho not T-bolt clamps..

Installed switch for Android logger as seen in small demonstration in video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QANQedOLeKs

the point of the switch is not because I don't have it hooked up to something connected to the ignition switch, cause I do. But when driving if I am not using the logger the lights are super distracting so I have the switch so I can just shut it off so it wont bother me.

and excuse my ricer-rific Carbon fiber wrap stuff that is getting a little beat up these last few months...

I finally did it! I took her out of the garage under her own power today for the first time! I couldnt leave the private street b/c I still dont have plates for it but i backed out of the driveway, put her in first, and she took off like I had hoped. Got up to 40 and got on the brakes, no issues. I will start more extensive road tests soon.
I can imagine some of you know or might remember the high I am on right now. Its unreal.
Anyways, i have alot of detail work to do and some minor things to wrap up, but I brought one back from the brink. I will post some pics of her in the sun if it doesnt rain tomorrow! Thanks for all the support you guys have given me.

Had to change the oil in her and then decided to mess around with some flashy parts.

Needless to say i wanted the writing on the pieces to pop out a little more and be eye catching.

This is how they turned out. I took care of all the spots that looked like they were missing a thick enough coat, but the flash on my camera gives a mittle bit of a reflect.
