Cars looking real good Paul. Can't wait to see it down at the track

I will make the Las Vegas race in November for sure.
Not sure about the September race though.
sweet build. very similar to the engine in my dads s\c car but you have a tick more compression...we kept his down around 14.5:1Ok, went by the shop today to check out the pistons. They look really nice, and they have a 12 CC dome which, when you calculate the compression using the deck height, the head, head gasket, and pin height, comes to:
16.21 to 1 compression. Haha.
The shortblock will be assembled next week, will take pictures of that before the heads go on. Here is a couple pictures of the A460 block, the the cylinder bores machined to 4.500, the lifter bores are finished, but still needs deburring.

did you try to lift that block yet....how about the crank.....regular 460 block takes 2 people but that A460 block takes a f'n forklift !
they are strong though.
