New project, as delivered

I'm very passionate about rebuilding and hope I don't come off as a show off. I really like this forum and it's members and I am proud to show people my work. This is going to be a slow process (summer free time). I would like to share these pics with you.

As with all my rebuilds, you will literally be able to EAT off the sled when I'm done cleaning it. Here's a progress shot

Engine stripped, cleaned and bores measures - cases and cylinders are good to go.

If your a monoblock triple fan, you'll be happy to know that this is a late release 97. The best ever of the xcr engines. 4 oil line from pump, updated crank bearing configuration, SLP type billet heads (factory)

Good luck with the machine,
