How's the engine coming along?

Slow but steady. I have a ton of time into cleaning things that would be reused. There was a substantial layer of grime on all kinds of things.

The block is back from the machine shop where I had it decked for flatness (heads too) I also had them install new cam bearings and hone the bores so the rings have something fresh to seat on.

Block has been painted Lunar Rock (a cool grey Toyota color)

Currently the crank and new bearings are in but I'm waiting on a torque angle gage to show up so I can torque the main caps.

15 ft/lbs then an additional 80° on the inner and 51° extra on the outer bolts.

I have the heads reassembled and ready to go.

I lapped all the valves and all the exhaust valves were pitted and only had like 50% seat contact so I replaced them all. Intakes all got reused, cleaned and lapped.

I also replaced all the valve springs as that was recommended by Brian Tooley Racing to go along with their Truck Norris cam.

It's starting to look like my 1000bhp goal will be easy to achieve. I may need to upgrade that to 1000rwhp.

I watched a friend of mine blow out the differential on his 1,000+HP Viper years ago.  It was the weakest link.  Doesn't seem like you'll see the same fate.

It's hard to say. I think the real issue will be traction and once tires break loose no amount of power will break anything.

I built a 10.5" 3/4 ton rear end and I'm told the pinion will break before anything since it's a smaller diameter shaft.

Who knows though. I'm just gonna give her the beans and fix whatever breaks using stronger stuff

Nice update - I love how it's all looking! Re-winding that spool of wire sounds like something I'd do as I'm a cheap bastard and two hours round trip from any welding supply shop. Of course, it'd probably take me three hours to accomplish, so it all boils down to the cheap bastard part.

You've head the phrase adapt and overcome, I'm sure.

It was a matter of principal. I wasn't throwing that spool away laughingdp
