Re: Fresh, original 72 350 w busted valve keeper - how bad?

Pete, that is what started my upper end rebuild, pulled rocker arm stud, bought new GMPP vortec heads, then a scrogginshickey intake manifold, then a efi for the 86 tpi from fast, then a cam and timing chain and gears then cnp. it just snowballs, not saying you should go this route, but it is a good time to build the engine the way you want, and check to make sure it is being assembled as you want. find a good shop in your area, that you can visit, and look at the work being done

my mistake was not putting in a roller cam
good luck with the engine that goes into a beautiful truck, and congrats on your recent appointment as mod.
