Awesome progress man... im in the same boat, ive got a ton of parts, just trying to get all the pieces i need to make it come all together...

 

[RonBurgandy]

im just getting this part done while i wait on my heads and intake to be machined then the car will be getting H/C/I new roller lifters, roller rockers, bigger valves (maybe), and new pushrods.

when the heads are off i need to check the bottom end. i have never had any problems but with the factory bottom end over 200k miles i dont want to add power and blow rings or mess up a bearing. so if the bottom end looks good then good if not i will throw in a new set of rings and bearings to be safe.

Put in my Mac Cai this morning. Looks good and i feel like the car is breathing alittle better. It seems to have picked up from a start a bit. I used to have a slight dead spot if i gassed it without building the rpms up. But that seems to be gone now but ill take it out some more to be sure.

And a shot of the new msd coil and cai put on

What machine shop u take em to?

 

[RonBurgandy]

Harrels machine shop down by busco beach. he does really great work. but i only have him doing part of my work and a friend is doing the rest for me to help save me some money.

 

[JLG21611]

Mike does excellent work. Built my first stroker for me years back. He is a personal friend of mine and is a bit of a perfectionist. A quality you want in your machine man.

 

[RonBurgandy]

Thanks for the vouch! Russ carlson a friend of mine has used him gor tears too and has a good relationship with mike. I know he will do a great job and treat me right.
