ive looked at them, offy, & stovebolt. first thing im going to do is a head swap to a non integral head w/ a 1 bbl. it has driveability issues right now, but all that should be gone when im done. plus it will look way cleaner under the hood ;D i havent seen any posts related to it so i might post it when i swap

i dont really have a choice. im very limited on equipment. whenever i have bigger things to do, but something that can be done in an hour or two, i go down the road to the college and use the shop there. i dont mind though, im accustom to working outside. my buddy and i did head gaskets on his 472 caddy hearse during January 2 years ago, so this is a piece of cake
