Thanks...
Awesome! Just because better safe than sorry, did you try shifting? Looks too close to your dash. A knob and your hand may not work that close for 1-3-5
Yes and on the pic the shifter is in the 1,3,5 position.
Still plenty room to the dash contact
Thats what you call different! awesome work man
Finally the day came, assembly of the shortblock.
Took a trip to Louisiana to my engine builders house and knocked it out.
Came back home happy that everything worked out and we didnt run into any issues whatsoever, Thanks Brandon.
I'll let the pics do the talking...

Great, that's exactly what I need, thanks!Quote:

Just got my cylinder head back from the machine shop, the guys did a hell of a job on it words cant descride it.
Special thanks to my tuner, hes been such a great supporter of the last minute changes and guidance to get this motor ready and waking up this monster from its deep sleep.
Head is still stock as fawk, all OEM parts on it, nothing fancy here.
K20z3 valves
K20a2 inner springs
F20c outer springs
Required retainers, seats , and keepers
