Sounds great, Rick! Please send me that grind number and specs for it when you get a chance. It may not be on the list I just sent you? 105 deg is exactly where I would put it.

Lou

Sure will Lou! It is on the list you sent as well. I will send the new list to Ceej and see if he can post it on the FAQ for us.

Installed a new set of lifters, then the head. Reassembled a good set of rocker arms and torqued everything to spec. On Christmas eve while all the boys were here,and after we opened our gifts, I had them lift off the hood and set it in the bed.

Friday 26th I drove it inside and drained all the fluid and started to disconnect everything. About 2 hours with my normal coffe breaks and it was about ready to pull.

Saturday morning I unbolted the convertor and put a strap under the transmission. Then hooked the engine onto the crane and lifted it out. Swapped over some stuff and soon It will be ready to go back in. Decided to weld a bung on the header while it is out so I can hook up an 02 sensor.

Oops!! I forgot to tell Andrew Shank I did this! He wanted to help. Sorry I forgot again!
