About pictures, I've got every photo that I've posted on my build log, stored for free at photobucket. I've only used 22% of my free space. I guess if you're going to post hundreds of pictures, then you've got a problem. I just started using a new 18 megapixel camera instead of my old 7 megapixel. I don't know if the pictures are any better, but I will use up space a lot more quickly.

I notice that there's an engine forum, but no place for a modern engine like the LS Chevy that been around for quite a awhile now. As for engine "building", that's usually more of an assembly job, unless you have some expensive machinery at your disposal. My auto mechanic father had valve grinding equipment back in the 60's, but anything else had to be done at the local NAPA, where they could bore cylinders, grind cranks and surface grind heads. I've put together a few small blocks and quite a few corvair engines, all before I was 21 but I haven't overhauled or assembled an engine since 1974. When it came time to build a hot rod, GM offered all the power I wanted with the LS3, so I went that route. Even if I'd used a small block, one of the GM offerings would have fit the bill. I guess if you've never built an engine before, it might be an intriguing part of the hot rod build, but I was more interested in doing everything else.
