Looks like a this is going to be a very nice project.

First off, let me say thanks for all the compliments and comments guys! It keeps me motivated to keep this car project going! I had a pretty good day on it Saturday, and as rough as the right rear quarter panel was, I think it's just about ready for some 2K primer surfacer to see exactly what I've got now. It was the worst spot on the car, so I decided to start there. Figured if I got that part done, the rest of the bodywork would be a piece of cake.

The heads are Dart Iron Eagle cast iron. They have 230 cc runners and 72cc combustion chambers. I picked them to keep the compression where it should run on pump gas with the 2 valve relief Keith Black pistons. The cam is a Comp Cams Mutha Thumpr hydraulic flat tappet with the matching valve springs and valve train. Specs are here on Comp's website:
