Todd,
Make sure you check that head for cracks. If they have been milled quite a bit to get the right cc's they can crack easily from a piston or valve hit.

I'll be pressure testing the head, I'll post up some pictures of the process. Should be a new learning experience.

Block is here, rods are here. It's groundhog day!

DEJA VU all over again Reading your posts I have learned way more than I ever wanted to know about a Cheby. Wish we could get blocks for our Mopars in 2 days.

I don't know much about a Mopar, and at this point I know more about machine work than I ever wanted to, but yes, Dart really came through with the block. We have plenty of work to do I'm guessing till mid next week.

Cams are expensive... That is all.

I feel like today was a pretty good one, crank came in, lifters came in and the "cam guy" is on board with my ridiculous schedule. Got all 8 holes bored today and got it on a stand.
