Update

I have the clearancing done.  I need to order piston rings, camshaft, new bearings, and lifters before I dissassemble the entire assembly clean and reassemble for the last time and put it on the test stand for break in.

I got the heads back from the machine shop he was able to pick up quite a bit on the exhaust side and a little on the intake side.

Here are a few picts ...enjoy

Cubic, Did they not do much port work on the intake side to maintain the 80% flow rule? Lookin' Good! Lorne

[cubicdollars]

He concentrated mainly on the exhaust , these heads will be on a blown application they still flow great at .700 the intakes flow 347.5 and the exhaust flows 310.4.

Got my truck back from a buddy of mine that did the majority of the body work, I just need to scuff the white paint and prime the entire truck. I also have to send the rear fenders to the soda blaster this week then drop them back off to the bodyman for the gas tank door welded up and the inner fender lips cut and stiffened up.

enjoy the picts 

[cubicdollars]

Got the truck completly tore apart this week and finished scuffing the old paint. It's pretty much ready t prime then I'll shoot the firewall and door jams. It looks like I'll be able to order a bunch of engine parts this payday as well to final assembly the engine .

latest picts enjoy....

[CoggedBelt75]

Great job!!! Was wondering what the duty assignment will be, street, street/strip, or strip?

Joe

[cubicdollars]

Thanks Guy's 

Mainly strip but it will be street driven. The engine is a 505 Tall deck. and I will have an F2 procharger on it with an intercooler on it. I am setting it up for Real Stret 10.5, not real sure if I will be competive but I love seeing the faces of guys that just got wooped by an old farm truck

I should have it in primer before the week is over and with this payday I should have the rest of the engine parts I need to Final assembly the engine.

Thanks
Dan
