Forgot the pic of the heads when I was checking out the rockers...



Oh, the engine's fully assembled and in the car now and sounds like a beast. Here's a pic of the car.

 

WoW, just Wow cant wait to get my rebuilt now.

 

dam nice car man thats the same color my car was a long time ago,are you going to keep it all origonal or are you going to mod the hell out of it,you need to get some vids of your car on the youtube and on here what kind of exhuast do you have.

 

hensonm1126> Yeah, it was fun and luckily I got it done before the heat set in and it was still cool enough to work. There were a couple of days that hit 100+ degrees and I would go to work on it and go, "yep, it's still there..." then turn around and go crash on the couch. Of course that was at the end and right before we dropped it in. It's fun but most of it was done by myself starting at around 4 - 5 in the afternoon and ending at 10 - 11 at night on the weekdays and then all day sat and some sundays. Most of the work was just cleaning and keeping parts clean for final assembly more than anything else. The car's older than me and with 34+ years of wear and grime on the engine it takes a lot to clean it up and make it decent. Luckily some friends at the machine shop helped with that when I took the parts in to be reworked.

73camaroSS> Yeah, I wish I had a video camera but I don't right now and my cellphone has the worst video capabilities that you can imagine on it. I do have a vid on my phone of when it was running before the rebuild and it still sounded good with the glasspacks. I have no idea what company the glasspacks are from though because they're all rusted over and I haven't even tried to clean those off yet. They're still functional and sound good so it's not of prime importance to me right now. As soon as I can get some video I'll be glad to share.

Thanks for the comments!
