Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
Update... Pan and front cover on...cam in @ 104.5... Heads are done, staying in the house until i put them on... it was -16* today... I have junk heads on it, to keep cylinders clean and rust free... Next is rockers and pushrods...and then we can prime it! Dont know if INdy in April is a possibility... Too much $ and not enough time... Im thinkin that Joliet in June is a better , more attainable goal... unless i fall into a boat load of $... No sense in rushing it...

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
Thanks! It works well...doesnt give alot of room behind the Alt, but ive never had a problem... My '62 has same setup on it... and i have a few running around out there, as well... I have a few alum blocks in the cabinet...

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
Got the new heads on it, last weekend... I figured out what pushrods i needed, and should have them tomorrow... Once valvetrain is set, i can prime it, and its ready to install... Intake is not bolted on yet, as valley pan isnt either. Gettin closer! Converter is at ATi... should get it back anytime

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
Sneaking up on it Brent. I need to post you up a pic of my partner's '64 tri-power GTO if we ever roll it out of the back shop sometime.
