If this was only a passworded forum. Yeah numnuts, about 3 years and 1000 miles ago. There's plenty of people here that will fill you in. No reason for me to go into it....I got new parts and you ain't gonna bring me down. I've got the wife and a boss for that.
 
Looks good Duane!

Have you found someone with the mechanical ability to help you install these new items?

Yeah. Steve from S'ville still owes me a steak dinner for keeping Johnny and his boys from giving him an Irish whoopin'. I'm dropping the whole car off to him next weekend.

Well, I knew you rebuilt the carb, I wasn't sure about the engine.

Hey, this guy says he'll soon have SBF valve covers:

Bet that window looks GREAT the first time you fire up your engine.

Sweet setup, Duane. Can't wait to hear how those heads treat you...been considering a set in the distant future myself.
 
What's up with the nasty water pump?




I heard Nick is free to help with the motor assembly.........
 
Rick, I've had a bent valve, acid bath, and blown head gasket. Jerked the whole thing on the last round. Engine is bored +0.040 with the performer cam, intake (now getting glass beaded), yada yada.

Mark, the wp was one of the items replaced during a bunch of crap and I didn't paint it. Old one is sitting on the shelf but instead of swapping I'm just gonna prime and paint this one with the engine. The discoloration is from...well....you know. Brake mc looks the same way. It's gonna get shot with some black when I recoat the engine bay.

Steve, that is exactly what I'm looking for. That would be sweet.

Jake, I don't know. I was just ordering and ordered the 1.6. Forgot I had thought about the 7's until I opened the package. Oh well, no biggie.

Johnny.....lmao.

Those clear valve covers would look like crap after you fire up the engine and oil splatters on it.

That would be nothing compared to what I've been through.
