going fast help
YEA! LOL, That's about it.
Once you have a great short block assembled, everything else is a bolt on and in deal. Thats the way I still do it. I just get the pistons I want hung on the OE rods and then balanced. Install it and set it up to wait.
Through the years, I have amassed a number of items that I can just get'er done fast. When I first started, I made a target and started collecting parts from the top down and stuck to the plan.
Once I had all the parts, I took the block to the machinest to work and final overbore, if it needed it. Then I got the pistons and did the final assembly at home. To the casual observer, it look as if I did it overnight.
Little did they know it took a year of saveing and purchasing parts to be stacked in the corner shelves.
The last thing to do is be in a rush. The second to last thing to do is change the plan. Both cost dearly if you don't pay attention to what I said. What we have been saying. Take your time, make a plan and stick to it.
