Looks like you have a great rig there. I think you are really going to notice the difference in a fresh engine and especially with the extra cubes.
What is the pistons you used?
What is your compression?
New carpet in the interior cleans it up nice too.
Thanks Jeff!
Yes you are right there is a crack in that exhaust manifold... I don't really think it goes all the way through though. It was there before and I didn't notice any issues with it so I opted to leave it because it was the original manifold.
The pistons are hypereutectic flat tops, don't remember the brand. Compression should be around 9.5:1

And I have really enjoyed reading your build!
