Ok so I now have my new mill under construction and this is what is going in it:
Forged pistons
Stock spec block
ARP fasteners
Comp XE270hr-12 cam, comp lifter and 1.6RR's
Edelbrock RPM heads 1.9/1.6 valves with mild port job
And the intake and such listed in my sig.
Now the thing is this engine will be completed about the end of October (my present mill stays in while this one get built) and sit on a stand untill spring....now is there anything I should do for maintenance while it sits all winter in my garage having never been started. Also as for break-in who goes out and pounds on her right away and who babies there mills for the first 500 cause I really don't drive mine hard now, so I don't know if going out and loading her up hard in the first 1000 miles it the answer. Let me know what you guy do when it comes time to welcome the new baby into the world.
