It's about DARNED time...motor assembly
Well. I FINALLY got my heads back today after waiting for two weeks to have the spring seats cut. So, of course me being the type that can't stand to not work on the car if he can't drive it. I had the heads and the headers on in about 2 hours. Tomorrow the push rods, intake, roller rockers and dist go on. Then all I need is a few other things, a radiator and a carb! But, I'm almost do the day of ignition. :D
The heads
Yes, I know thats a wrench on my fender..I know, I know..I'll be burning in Corvette hell for that...
The final motor...

Well, to run that cam, I'll need a higher stall and so forth. So, I figured I'll wait until I've got the money for a higher compression, Trick Flow heads, taller rear gear and a better stall for all that. Then add the cam while I'm at it. But, that's not for a LONG while.

Aaron- looks great! I was at that point a couple weeks ago, just fired mine up tonight and it was music to my ears.....although my neighbors probably didn't think that. :D

Re: It's about DARNED time...motor assembly (C3 Shark Tank)
When the BEAST starts. It's going to be a BIG day around here. All my friends know about it. My neighbor. Random people I don't even know in school ask me when It's going to be started. There will probably be 10-20 people here on the day it starts. Well, there's thought to be. I'm going to boil my slightly treaded 235-70's down to nothing down my street with open headers.... :reddevil
