Fall of 2011 a friend had a nice shop that was free to use for the winter. It had all the important things. Concrete floor, lights, tools, heat, and most important a FRIDGE! And I thought to myself, self, it would be fun to do something in there this winter. This is when I remembered I had a pickup with a roach 305 and a junk tranny.
Sorry for the history lesson. Now the build starts. If you're following along yet.
OUT WITH THE OLD!
The 'NEW' mill. 1000 mile rebuilt 4 bolt main with Thumpr Cam
Removed Thumpr and added something else....
Timing gear and stronger valve springs....
Adding a little paint....
