New cam and heads for a 283!

[Mr Handy]

So my truck has a 283 with a great bottom end, but it had 307 heads. So over the last year or so I have been collecting parts. A set of 305 TBI heads for $20 bucks. I rebuilt those around Christmas by doing a valve hone and installing new seals and springs. I was given an edilbrock intake with the correct bolt pattern for the heads. Picked up a Q-jet on here and rebuilt it. Already replaced the water pump and have restored and painted core support and inner fenders, new body mounts... also have a 4 row rad to drop in and a few other odds and ends. So a simple head swap turned into a fairly extensive rebuild... I also decided to Swap the cam and lifters and Installed a Summit 1102, should be plenty of cam for the little 283.
Started tearing down the front end Friday night after work, and by 3 Saturday afternoon was putting stuff back together, Not bad as I was gone till 2 on sat to get tires on my daily driver. I didn't get to drive around the block, but I decided to replaced the left motor mount so that took a fair amount of time... The planets did align and I Installed the Intake to Freebird ! It just happened to come on the radio at the perfect time, I think it was a sign. Anyway enough of that here are some pick from the weekend, I hope your Easter was as productive as mine.
