My Build - FINALLY...

[64c20crewcab]

We finished baggin the rear of my rig in early July but had to take on other projects before I attack the front end. It don't lay frame but will be a lot lower when I change out the tires.

As some of ya know I had a motor built by a local shop and have had nothing but problems - studs pulling, springs breaking... this just sucked!!!

This being my only ride aside from my bike I need to keep it running. I replaced the studs with screw in and new set of Edelbrock springs.

Well well last week I pulled the motor (white smoke at start up) n trans (leaking). Went to replace valve guide seals and found that the boss around #5 exhaust valve was damaged. I yanked the 76cc chambered heads with 1.94 /1.5 valves. Swappin in a fresh set of 70cc heads with 2.02/1.6 stainless valves. These were to go into a stock car. I will get a bit of a compression bump with these for sure.

Question for any of you that can assist, what head gasket should I use? How thick or thin? Does is really matter? This is my first go around doing some of this. Seem each time I pay somebody to do work - it sucks!

Here is the motor info:
SB350 bored .040 over = 350
Heads: 2.02/1.6 70cc chambers
Cam: Edelbrock 2102 - .442 lift - mild but lookin for a .465 lift cam now

Thanks!
