Scott, the poster who revived this is a spammer. Gosh, I have to look after you more than a 3 year old

As long as the thread is brought up, I can't wait to get my car back together. I ran into some clearance issues with my Vortecs, but I think with a little ghetto grinding and some +.050" valve locks I should be good to go.

How the hell did I know he was a spammer??!!!

As far as the 'ghetto grind'....I almost opted that way but its not as easy as it looks. Plus, Id HATE to float a valve over a weaker valve keeper. By the time you are done f'ing around, its easier to just get them machined. (Trust me, Im a cheap ****, but hand grinding those valve guides looks much easier than it really is...)

Cuz his "vortec heads" wording is a hyperlink to some "talkativetown" website.
That's a dead-head giveaway!
