New 512 build planning

[Spyder]

Getting a little closer every time I get some time off work. The wrist pin got shipped out the same day I called about it, but USPS lost it and it took 2 weeks to get here. Used that time to do some other prep work, built an 8x24 multi-bay chicken coop (www.therustedroostfarm.com if anyone's looking for hatching eggs!), and covered a bunch of shifts at work. Hanging out with the dog drinking coffee right now, and hoping to get the heads on and valvetrain set up today!

Corrected the paint under the hood last weekend.

New paint under the hood always makes it look better. Especially High Impact paint. Always money well spent.

Going to try and bolt it back in the car tomorrow, schedule dependant!

Hard part's done, now to put the torque converter in and hook up all the accessories. I am REALLY REALLY REALLY glad I decided to take the time to paint the engine bay. I almost didn't, because there was a big show and cruise last weekend I wanted to go to, but it came out freaking great. Very happy with it so far. Now, if it'll only run and without leaks, and without eating itself, when I get to finish it up and fire.

Yup, doing everything in the engine bay ahead of time is way easier now than later. Looks good

I love that intake! It gets my vote as the ugliest and most effective intake for the RB Mopar! I own three of them!
