The Beast ***56K warning***
Well today i start disassembly of my engine. Time for the OLD NPI heads, cams, and stock headers to go away.
Putting In ported and polished PI heads, custom ground cam (comp 270 without the advance), hooker Longtubes, matching O/R X pipe.
Also going in are drag springs.
I will have lots of pictures. I hope to have it done by this time next week.
I am leaving the motor in the car. Doing the head swap, degreeing the cams, and the ARP head studs in the car. Then I will drop the K member, do my hooker longtubes bolt the K back up, and then do the drag springs!
I am excited!

Sweet! Sounds like fun! Hope everything goes well and you don't walk away with too many bloody knuckles.

Little stuff is out of the way!

Pile of parts!

Will work on it tommorow night after work too!
The Water jackets where I put silicone for the PI intake on NPI heads are just fine. I have pics of that too to show that all the non believers that yes the silicone works!!!
