Engine progress update
Blazerboy came over yesterday and what a pleasure it is to work with someone that really knows engines. He did alot of the engine stuff with a blindfold on and one hand tied behind his back. Okay, maybe not, but he does know what he is doing.
We got the new cam installed, lifters, valve springs, valve seals, roller rockers, gear drive, intake, valve covers and fuel pump.
All that needs to be done is get some longer bolts for the quadrajet and gaskets, get the pickup screen welded on the oil pump, get the timing cover cleaned up, painted and seal replaced, install the balancer, water pump and the rear main seal. Sure I'm forgetting a few other things, but definitely getting close to having it all together.
Blazerboy only gave me a few heart attacks yesterday. A couple oh no's can make my heart stop, luckily we didn't run into any real problems.
I'll post a few pics tomorrow of our fun.
