383 almost done w/ PICS

hey guys, almost done putting together my 383. I'm just waiting for injectors and flexplate bolts. One bolt hole for the passenger side headers is messed up and i need to get a tap so thats why the one header isn't on. And the Trick Flow heads don't have the same bolt holes as a stock head to mount the wire loom brackets so I just put them on top of the valve covers. Heres the list:

383cid Blueprinted and Balanced
Splayed 4 bolt mains
11cc dished SRP pistons
6" CAT H-beam rods
Eagle Forged Crank
205cc Trick Flow heads
CC306
Comp 1.6 narrow body roller rockers
Comp push rods
Melling 155HV
6qt Canton
SVO 42lb injectors, when they get here
CSR electric water pump
ATI SFI damper
Blaster coil
MSD 6AL box
Talyor 8.8 wires
PCMFORLESS tune

the rest of the mods for the car are:
TCI SFI flexplate
TCI 3000 stall T/C
built 4l60E
3.5" moser driveshaft
Moser 9" w/ 3.73s and Detroit locker
custom SFC
custom Panhard bat
boxed trailing arms
Walboro 255 intake feeding a A1000 external pump
-8 supply line with stock return line, i sure hope the fuel system works
and LT1 scanmaster

I'm sure i'm forgetting some other stuff, but I did everything on the engine except align bore and hone the mains and cylinders, and deck the heads and block, the machine shop got to do that. But i learned how to balance the rotating assembly, i ported and polished the heads and intake, and put everything together. I was in a engine building class so I had someone watching everything I did. Let me know what you guys think, and let me know if i need to change some parts to get this thing to run good. Thanks.

Re: 383 almost done w/ PICS

it will be in the car maybe next week, then after everything is broken in i will get track times. I have some Nitto 555 DRs but they don't hook up very well, so when i get some better tires i'm hoping for 11's maybe even 10's

How much did you pay for that oil pan? All the ones I have seen have been really steep and I was just wondering where you got it from?

Re: 383 almost done w/ PICS

its all done now, i just have to put the tranny on and the wiring harness. i was getting a little restless so i wired up the 6AL box.

Also, do you guys think the alternator will cause any electrical interference with the spark plug wires being so close to it? there are a few pics of how close they are at the end.
