Nice job. What is your dad doing to his car? Looks like fenders and bumpers (Monterey Red?) are off of his car as well.

On the trailer is a 70 charger rt and on the right hidden behind the fence is a 70 dart swinger we are putting a high performance 440 in it. When the garage is built we are thinking about a hellcat engine in the charger or a original 426 hemi!

I replaced it had a little crack on the fender and bumper was scratched so I fixed it up before I sold it to him. Funny thing is he just hit the curb coming in and messed the bumper up again LMAO

What are you gonna do when a neighbor complains and the township comes and tells you to move it all NOW?
Did you find the noise yet? No air tools?
I'll give you credit. At least you got it off the ground.
You do know that it's going to pour down rain again soon don't you?
Good luck.

There ya go I added a couple I'll take one when I start on it today again and do a start up video also. It's 4 am over here so I'm gonna have to wait atleast 4 hours before I can start it. But yeah it was a fun project very easy and straight forward. But some times it's a PITA and I regretted it at times but once you are past it. It's all highway from there.

I hope you checked on the proper pushrod length... anytime you change heads, gasket thickness, cam base circle diameter, rocker arms, etc... you must check for the proper pushrod length. Every LS7 I've done needed 7.425 pushrods for .050-.060 lifter preload.
Just FYI, and best of luck with everything.

2. However, if the heads have been milled 0.020", that would require a pushrod that is 0.020" (20 thousands of an inch) shorter than stock.
In this case, you would be very close to the correct lifter preload by just using the stock length pushrod.
Make sense?

Also, since you have [both] an aftermarket long duration cam and milled heads ... you better make sure you have enough piston to valve clearance in that engine.

FYI .... The stock length pushrod for the LS3 is 7.400"
I believe the stock length pushrod for the LS7 it is 7.750"

All good reasons why you simply can't throw parts at an engine.
