well after a couple of weeked of sanding and tring to get the beast going ive hit the wall on the motor ive bent three push rods on number 4 and number 6 and the the studs are pulling out of the head and to make maters worst the head are not was gm"s best to start with .. they were giving to me from a freind . the heads are the 462624 which i didn't know at the time that they are known to crack if they been modified.
ive desided fo go with a bigger cam on the motor with is 4 bolt to start with and alum heads 2.02 1.60 any way here we go .
but atlest i got the rest of the fire wall finished .
