Yeah that would be nice. Unfortunately, the front springs from the dana 60 donor were completely toast. Only set of springs I had lying around were the 4" lift springs so... On they go.

I am not about to do a 7" block in the rear and I damn sure don't want it to be squatting!

So I went to the machine shop about my heads. One head was done and already had 3 oversize exhaust valves put in previously. They decked it, cleaned it and checked for cracks and put it back together. My other head was toast, they showed me the valves had sooo much play it was ridiculous. Luckily for them, they had a 193 head handy that was in great shape and would only cost me $200! At least for the $200 it will be completely assembled, checked and decked.

So total cost for getting heads done is going to be $250. Not bad but originally I was going to be having them done for a bit shy of $100.
