Re: 1972 SWB Build

Spend some time this past week stripping down the LS shortblock and taking it to the machine shop. Also pulled the 350/TH400 out. Going to drop the trans off tomorrow to have it gone though.

I am having second thoughts on the heads. I was going to send them to Texas Speed to have them CNC'd. I talked to a local head shop that does great work. $300 to strip them down, valve job and reassembly. TS is $750. Since I am staying with the lower compression LQ4 dished pistons, I am unsure if the CNC'd heads would be overkill. Thoughts?
