here we go boys and girls! Starting my 470" stroker swap! Not that crazy. Going from 383 to new low deck stroker. Got short block painted tonight.

Got little more done today.

I made a piston stop so that I could stop the crank from rotating while I installed the harmonic balancer.

Installed balancer with 3/4 threaded rod and a coupling nut. NEVER HIT BALANCER WITH HAMMER.

Next I installed my 440 source timing pointer. I had to trim the mount so that it worked with my AR Engineering timing cover.

I also used the piston stop to find true top dead center. I ran balancer round till it stopped in the clockwise direction. Write that number down. Then rotate counter clockwise till it stops. Write that number down. I then move the pointer in the correct direction until I get the same amount in both direction. This will give you true top dead center.
 
Then I moved onto the oil pump. I took it all apart, cleaned it all with acetone. Lubed oil pump gears with white lithium grease. Then installed on engine.

Then I mounted the valley plate. Siliconed the front and rear China walls. I ran a bead on the underside of the extensions also

More work has been done on this engine in a week than I did on my Duster all winter! It's looking good there Young Gun!!! Perhaps I will see this in Graham sometime?
 
Looking great, that Valley cover turned out awesome, looks damn good with that stainless steel and carbon fiber look
