Actually I'll add to this thread as well. I'm also looking at getting my 7 bolt done as well. Does anyone have experience with shops that have done 7 bolts before? (split thrust). One of the shops I'll be looking at is Rainbow Engines in Markham, I know they've done alot of 6 bolts just wasn't sure about 7's.

I'd like my squirters welded up when I do my build. Also want ARP main studs so need an align hone. Not sure what all machining is required but I'd want all the typical stuff, balanced rotating assembly, etc. Also thinking about O-ringing the block.

Tim, looks like a good build but I probably wouldn't run the OBX underdrive pullies. I'd recommend a good engine dampner like Fluidampr.
