Porting

After about 20 hours of work I'm getting pretty close to finishing all my porting work. What I have done so far is the exhaust and intake ports in the cylinder heads, the throttle body, intake plenum, lower intake manifold and also the supercharger case. I will probably be done with everything in about another 6 hours and then I need to go back and polish everything. Some other details that are coming together are: I got the 4.2L crank on Monday and tomorrow I will be ordering rods, pistons, cam, bearings, main studs and a few other odds and ends.

Here are some phone pictures of some port work just for a basic idea of what has been done. Hopefully I will be able to round up a new camera pretty soon and get some high quality pictures.
