Porting cylinder heads.... wow no wonder they charge so much for doing this.  I've got and easy 15 hours into this pair so far.  :eek4:  I roughed out  quite a bid on the mill to start with.....

I kinda had a crappy week. :sadwavey:  My best buddy died last Sunday. ( it was expected?) Took my car to the funeral and then did a   :burnout: leaving the graveyard. He would have smiled at that. :grinyes:

Glad you made him happy Brad! He would be loving it.



I looked at my parts and wondered when it will all go back together!

Pulled the seats & carpet out to give them all a good cleaning.  It was the first time I saw my floorpans, they look almost new.  I don't think they have ever been repainted since the car has been painted a different color at least twice.  I guess the undercoating (factory?) worked.

I might have the transmission bolted up to the 440 by then, so I might be rolling it under the car. If I don't have them bolted together then I'll probably be doing that. I'm really starting to miss driving my toys

I put some really good brand of heat reflective insulation on my headliner.
I got it for free!
