Cam, intake, heads, carb, radiator, electric fans, HEI, 130 amp alternator, trans service, and rear end service. Will do cam break in tomorrow when the neighbors aren't sleeping. All in all it was a productive day. I wish I could have done the break in, but I broke my balancer removal/install tool and ended up having to buy a crappy removal tool from amateur zone, and run all over town to find a 7/16 - 20 bolt with enough thread to make a make shift install tool. which cost me a couple of hours of daylight. Sometimes I miss having a shop, especially on days like today. A lift would have saved me at least 2-3 hours.
