Re: Attempt/Mistake #2

And I found some old pictures for the first attempt at building this truck which was an epic fail. Figured people might like to see it.. Don't laugh too hard at these because I was young and dumb and wasteful. Plus I did not have a shop like I do now. This is the 427 that dropped a valve because the cam walked over a lobe as the bolts came loose on the cam gear. Will never again build an engine without the locking plate there.
