Scraped all the gunk of the top of the pistons from 80K worth of use. I had the heads cleaned up w/a valve job & new springs installed; matched & verified the installed heights/pressures, installed a new cam, timing set, & oil pump. Then I painted the assembly w/some black POR-15 & added some bling (powder coated black valve covers, billet breathers, & polished SS fasteners).

Where is it now? Sitting on a dolley in my garage waiting for a home. My 68 beater was the intended hole to fill but my city had a different view on building a vehicle in your driveway.

So.... I got a decent drivetrain @ a decent price only to have it stalled by the man......

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
