Default Engine back from the Machine Shop

Picked up the engine yesterday. I think this about the closest thing a car enthusiast can get to the feeling you had as a kid on Christmas morning. Engine is 40 over, with 38 CC domed pistons. Roller cam with a grind very close to stock l78. Same one I used on the 66 SS i just finished. Heads are milled way down so the chambers are 111ccs. For the guys that noticed yes there zl1 heads. All in all should be around 10.8 to 1 when done but I need to do some checking on how far the pistons are in the hole. Assembly to come!
