NEW UPDATE!
So the short block is done. The block was acid dipped, magnflux, honed, bored, and line honed. The pistons/rods/crank were balanced, then the machinist bolted on the flywheel and it was balanced also. I don't have a clutch yet so that wasn't balanced(can't decide on what to get, probably an OS Giken Twin Plate or ATS Carbonetics since a few people have ruined the Nismo Twin while racing, clutch is being ordered tomorrow!). The rods/pistons/crank are theoretically balanced for 11000rpm which this motor will never ever see EVER! The drain back at the back of the motor was ported hardcore, which is why I think the external drainback is useless (that is if you have another crankcase vent). The drain at the back is easily equal to 4 dash-10AN Lines in terms of cross-sectional area.
Anyways the block is looking nice and the head is going to be ported/flowbenched starting hopefully monday.
Here's some pictures of how everything looks as of now...Enjoy!

UPDATE!!!
***February 24th 2010***
So last night we got some work done on the build. LOTS of parts came in, Mitch got the head back from the machinist and now it's all coming together. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!
This is what the valve covers, timing belt cover, and intake manifold are going to be painted with. Its a black wrinkle paint
Picture of the new/forged rotating assembly
Installing the ARP head studs
Head is on Here you also see the awesome Tomei cams
Nice porting job on the exhaust side which will allow for some great flow on the top end
Intake side

Great build! Loving it so far.
Although, I would suggest cleaning up that shop, I know it's a shop and all, but I've seen cleaner garages
