It's funny how the time flies by. I have been working on the '70 SWB for 8 or 9 years anyway. Not steady but between other projects. I am going to try and get busy on it this Spring.

Time sure does get away from you quickly! Do you have any build threads of your projects, previous or current?

Thanks I’m excited about the power upgrade! I think I’ve finally decided on a paint scheme for the drivetrain. I hope to have some paint on them soon.

Last weekend I finally made a little progress. New cam, oil pump, timing chain, lifters and oil pan installed. Loosely sat the heads on but still need to torque them down. This cam should be good for some good low end power!

Great choice on cam, I went with there 216/220 .550 lift and love it.

I'm not too good on the build threads. I post threads from time to time when I am working on something but they are usually sporadic. I will see if I can find a couple tomorrow.
