Hey, im glad to see you guys have patience and great questions.
good news! Eagle rods got sent over night so they should arrive today.
The head should return from the machine shop shortly, and all the other parts
are in place. What i plan to do is layout all the parts and take a picture so you can see what we're working with.

HEADER: I believe the header will be a "race header", but i'll ask Hy-tech and see what their plan was. Usually they make pretty hard core race headers that produce ridiculous power gains.

Valves: Im not sure what angle the valve seats with done at, I will find out when it gets back though and report to the thread.

TSX: The throttle body is DBW=drive by wire, and the car will remian that way. Im trying to do an engine build that everyone can benifit from knowledge wise, the car needs to remain DBW for this to be successful in my eyes.

Color: haha, well we got creative. Whether its a good thing or bad thing, at least from the front 3/4 view it will look insane. The side view is kinda questionable in concept but o well, this car is all about trying new things. We went with a two tone paint job. You wont see that until SEMA though
