Welcome to the forum, and yes do post lots of pictures.

FYI, the engine you are building is a 332, not a 331. Do the math, why do people truncate numbers? The same bad math makes a 347 a 346. All 351's are really 352's.

Sounds expensive. How long do you expect it to last?

Ugly? Easy now -- that's my baby and it's got lots of unique character! When I drop that built 445" stroker in it you won't have any time to "pull over to let me pass" because I'll have already blown past you when you figure out what the hell was that loud noise behind you . . .
