383 Part#3
Well ran into a few small minor problems. Tonight I decided to test fit the Power steering bracket and A/C bracket after getting my heads milled and the block deck, They are off a just a tad. Had to get new push rods. Went from a 7.200 To a 7.150. Now I have a nice sweep across the head of the valve. Here is a picture of where she is at this point. I still have to finish sanding the casting marks out of the Super ram.

Re: 383 Part#3 (Jay 383)
Ya know Jay, I went to the machine shop the other day with Rich, the motor looked great. Rich has helped me along quite a bit.
What really blows is that he's gonna be back on the road before me. I've been at this for 7 mos. and Rich is going to be back on the road and ready to kick my butt royally before I get out of the garage :lolg: :lolg: :thumbs: I'll try to be there for documentation though :cheers:
