Techline Coatings came by and did some stuff on the motor. All chrome pieces are black chrome, except the red valve cover breathers. The black pieces were the air cleaner, valve covers, water neck, and distributor hold down clamp.
The intake manifold is coated with a thermal reflecting coating that is also oil shedding. So it will block any incoming heat out. Also the water cross over was coated to keep the heat in the coolant line and out of the air temperature. Coating it on the bottom will keep the oil in the lifter valley from keeping oil on the bottom. Inside the intake manifold is a textured coating that keeps the intake manifold from being too smooth inside and promotes proper tumbling so a good air/fuel mixture.
The headers should be ready Friday.

Out back at work we have a production studio with everything from a AWD Dynojet, lift, to any tool I need to get this done.
I plan to spend 1 weekend pulling the engine and the dash to pull out everything I don't need and weld up all the unneeded engine bay holes
The next weekend I will get the engine in and running.

Been a couple weeks since a real update. A large shipment of random parts showed up, everything from fittings to a 3200 CFM fan. There is a few more pieces to get and it will be ready to go.
The production oil pans and pickup tubes should be in mid next week. Looking to hopefully install sometime in Feb.

Came into today. These are DAMN nice pieces. The pickup tube is super thick and comes with 1st or 2nd main cap bolting options.
The pan is fully baffled and should hold 6-7 quarts and even has a drain bolt for the rear sump area
Final production engine mounts, slotted to allow for a little adjustability and triangulated for strength. That is the transmission mount for the TKO/Muncie style transmissions. Final checking will happen Monday but there shouldn't be any issues.
$450 for the pan and pickup, $350 for engine/trans mounts. They are working on a T5 and T56 trans mount.
$800 and you can BOLT IN a small block Chevy with no other modifications except for a little firewall massaging for the bell housing.
