Here we go again

As you all know , i was going to sell the car , but after many weeks of thinking and a lot of people offering me money for the thing , i decided to keep it anyways , and despite all the problems rebuild it .
For those of you who do not know , this is more or less the story , i got my engine (from a very well respected , and very very popular builder ...BIG NAME) it was supposed to be pinned and ported rebuild etc etc.....turns out when i tore it appart it was slightly ported (exhaust) and intakes were not even ported , anyways after ordering my parts from some other "big name " and getting screwed by him not sending me the parts , i got to thinking and i decided to throw more money into the thing again
I will be posting all the pics of the rebuild here for all of you to see , the ports how they where and how they will be done etc etc , and i will explaine why also

Sorry to hear about your bad experiences.
Yeah, I would not even call those a "mild" street port.
Good luck with the project!
