The second Edelbrock #60559 Head was purchased 4-11-08...kind of a Happy Brithday to me, from me, for me, type of deal, LOL! Yep, 50 grand old years old on the 11th, WOW hard to believe. Second head will be here on Tuesday the 15th, so says Jegs. I am almost done buying all the parts for this beast of a motor. Still need the mechanical solid roller lifters, push rods, and possibly valve springs and that really is it, I have the 1.7 roller rockers. The heads are complete, but with a .652 lift solid cam I need to check with Edelbrock to make sure the springs on these heads can handle it. Of course, pics to follow.

Next purchase...Mechanical roller lifters: COMP CAMS ENDURE X MECHANICAL LIFTERS BBC 819-16 expensive, but to be expected when you are building a solid roller BBC. Shipping is probably not really free, but built into the price, LOL.

TY! Engine is actually Chevy Orange, Dulpi-Color DE1620. Can't wait for the last head to get here and finish the engine. Kinda like building a model...just a little more expensive, LOL!

As usual Alex....it looks beautiful...your work is second to none.

Red looks good!

Thanks Larry!

Second head arrived today! Had to set em' up for a pic. I'm diggin' it! Disassembled & powder coated the 1050 Dominator Carb float ends in Chevy Orange and of course reassembled them. Fuel line and all fittings will be black. No red & blue & stainless on this ride.
