Glad it arrived in 1 piece 
Don't mind the burnt plywood on the sides, you would'nt want me to build your house I can tell you that LOL. Cutting plywood on the table saw is definitely not my day job...
You TOLD me that you could not nail two boards together? 
You did a good job but forgot the spray foam,glue and paint.

That is not burned...it is surface hardened from heat treating. (deliberately done IMO) Nice work on the details of this build, thanks for sharing. Can't wait for the results.

Well, I am working on it! LOL
Car Craft took pics of all the parts right after I got them and they might want to dyno the engine. So, that might upset my ultimate plan. I was hoping to have it in the car for MATS, but I do not think that is likely since I have to build the headers for the car and that is 3 weeks minimum. Usually about 4-6 weeks will do it. I want to race the Valiant at MATS so I am pretty sure it will be with the current Mopar 406 crate motor just to be on the safe side.
So far I have finished hand lightening/blending all the CNC work on the block and I just mocked up the heads and intake on the block to get a dimension for end spacers to go on the china walls. Ryan measured the mains but I still have to mock up and verify 7 of the rods clearances. I have been spending a lot of time gathering misc parts that are not included with a build from scratch engine and getting misc gaskets etc... Like the plate/fitting/gasket that the oil filter mounts on and the dip stick. This block is not taking a standard dip stick and is even different from the last R3 Block I had of the same configuration. I finally figured out a production Magnum DipStick will work (with mods).
Right now I want to get to the point where I can give the block it's final wash and start assymbling the short block.
I hate to say I work slow and I am checking and rechecking everything and dealing with all the details. It would be stupid to be careless and needlessly blow up a motor that costs this much. As with my last good engine, I want it to be right and then go out and beat on it and not worry. I have the parts that are up to the task. I just need to make sure everything goes together without any issues.

So Ron , What R U doing with the lifter vallee? R U going to close it up or leave it open.
I hear alot of info about oil dropping into that area and creating windage.

I'm sure you're aware of the billet aluminum oil filter plate CV Products makes for the R3 blocks? Its o-ring sealed. http://www.cvproducts.com/Products.aspx?Search=cv783
devilbrad , I did not know about that. Thanks, that will give me another option when it comes down to it. I ended up ordering all the stock stuff and I ordered a Billet Plate from Canton (seals with an "O"-ring). The Canton one uses the stock fitting and the production piece is very good nowadays. Better than the older stuff by far.
The fitting is also o-ring sealed. Nice stuff.
