Default Another H/C Project

Started my H/C project, Had alot of what the hell did I get myself into moments, more to come I'm sure. For you old muscle car guys like me, this is a different animal for sure. Hard on the back bending over this low slung beast for hours. Hope it goes back together close it the way it came apart.

Just follow the service manual........piece of cake. ....much easier in the long run than old SBC. No dizzy, timing, limited use of RTV, gaskets actually seal up every time, etc.

After the tune, it should have the idle lowered a bit, and really sound badass. I think you might drive it a while before going with a stroker. I'll bet you'll be hard pressed to use all the power you already have. Congrats, and GL.
