Looking good, ya better get them on because spring is coming. ;D....I gotta put the front end of my 5.0 back together tommorow, the timing cover and water pump gaskets both sprung a leak so I tore it apart to fix it and paint some stuff....No big puddles of coolant, just little stains in the paint...and I can't have that...LOL I finished porting my 351W heads a couple of weeks ago and now their ready for the machine shop this spring/summer as money allows....They just need a valve job but they don't need to be planed. That $100 machinists straight edge is money well spent. ;D I gotta find some 1.78/1.45 valves for them too......  ...I wanna see this budget brawler run for summer 2006. |

yeah i got them put on Friday with help from my buddy! Look good. Just waiting on my intake gaskets and i can plop that on, then hopefully fire her up. Still have to weld my battery box in, and run my cable for my alt to the rear switch. Cant wait. i may only get a week or so of driving her before i have to let it sit  But maybe in Sept or so i might have her out! |
