I've got a set of heads for sale but I believe they're pretty much just as worthless as yours.

 

ok im at a point where i need to make a decision of what i want my engine to do before i can start getting some work done.

i want low end torque i want my engine to top out at about 5,500 rpm. i started looking for a cam that will fit what i want to do.

also i am going with a carb set up for sure.

i also have a thread for picking some heads. would 327 double hump heads do what i want.

i have an email into this guy to find out what the cast # is on these.


here are some cams i found that i thought would fit what i want to do.

What color is that? School bus or Big bird! JFC I used to think you were cool.....
Seriously, it looks like your making progress. Its a very rewarding experience. Just make DAMN sure up cover up EVERY hole, open port and opening when its all assembled.....little nuts find their way into distributor holes way to easily....

dont ask.

 

daytona yellow. it is a great yellow in person. yep i already dont keep anything little around my block and heads because i dont want any chance of breaking anything.

i got a few things to buy still but i think that i will be able to start putting something together this weekend.

 

My March Performance Serpentine Kit got to my house today.

 

Update !!!!!!!!

I dont have pictures for all i have done as it was 9:30 when i finished and dark so the rest of the pics will come tomorrow.

got the crank installed. i plastigauged to double check what the machine shop did. it all looked good.

installed rings on the pistons. very easy yet frustrating at the same time.

got all 8 pistons installed just need to torque them all down tomorrow.

 

Update !!!!!

pistons installed



And pistons removed. 3 pistons had bent a oil ring. I removed all of the pistons because turning the crank was very difficult.
