I appreciate all the kind words. Real progress is being made.

The Warp6 heads are moving right along. The combustion chambers are softened. The seats have been replaced with Moldstar90 material and a mold casting was done on one cylinder and sent to CP pistons, so the pistons are being made. Only need one casting because its a symmetrical head. The exhaust valve ended up at 1.800".

Because the heads have a minimum 4.250" bore requirement, we will go 4.280". With the 4.125" stroke its 475 ci. We would have preferred a somewhat smaller bore, but you can't always get what you want. I think its a reasonable trade off for using these heads.

Connecting rods are the brand new for 2019 Molnar 'Power Adder Plus' in 4340 billet. 6.700" long.

More to come as it happens. Maybe some pics along the way.
