i made a lot of progress today. the shortblock is almost completely assembled. i started putting the cylinder head back together as well. i painted the head and block with some VHT cast coat aluminum paint. it looks amazing.

the upper charge pipe i painted.

here's the cylinder head with the valves/springs installed.

more pics of the block put together.

worked on actually making mounting brackets for the intercooler. the other pics i had, the ic was hanging by zipties. i still need to mess with cutting and fitting my new bumper on because the body lines are off.
