Nothing fancy, but I think I put too big of a cam in it.

bored 0.30 over
reconditioned rods
3 angle valve job
Comp 212-212 cam
100# valve springs
ported intake

I ended up putting a double roller timing chain on also.



I'll be starting off with the stock turbo for now.

Its cast aluminum and gloss black engine paint. Thats actually at my dads collision shop, I did all the work to it there.

Now splash some oil on the pan so it looks like a real Buick motor
Nice job, I think you're gonna feel a big difference comming from the hot air community.

I have a Lunati 212/212 cam and have never had a problem at all from it.

Looks great, I noticed something though that might help down the road.

What brand/color paint did you use for valve covers, etc...?

 

[Squid4life]

Wow that looks great! You will definitely enjoy it, just don't get scared the first time you hear the compressor surge..

 

[rob350]

Cast Aluminum. I'm not sure on the brand off hand, but i'll let you know the next time i'm at the shop.

i used vht flat aluminum and it is the same color as rob 350 used and the vht is good to 2000*. used eagle one etching mag cleaner to get grease oil oof the valve covers and timing cover so far and painted them with the vht. you can see the dirty alternator and tentioner and the painted valve covers and timing cover.
