Looks great Al. Keep at it but don't rush for the sake of rushing.
 
Things are moving right along! I have a great shot if no other kinks show up. Waiting for the grilles to come back,that should be nice!!

Intake manofold had to get milled for the blower surface to be perfect and remove the clear coat off the mount area.

Did crank scraper and buttoned up the short block.Rockershaft shims should be in today and then finish installing the heads,THEY ARE LOADED!.Going to pick up o-ring material and I think I have everything.Need to shim the cam to reduce endplay......TO THE WIRE!!!!!

4 stops to find the correct o-ring material for the top of the intake manifold.Rocker shims came in from Marsh Performance,heads are now loaded.Clear valve covers would be cool!


I know what I would polish if were together,,,,,The silverware when we're done eating the best steak in the States!:thumbsup:
