I'd read where that source was hit & miss on things. Ultimately, we went back/forth on 'interpretation' of the communications. What seemed so obvious in his mind did not translate over to what was written in his answers as there were key details left out. Lesson learned. They'll only be a final-option source in the future.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Well it's winter, I thought I'd do a little cleanup and exhaust manifold change-out.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
I expect that my engine will run a bit warmer after I conduct the carb re-work as I am changing the jets and the metering rods. When I pulled the plugs they all showed a very rich condition. After searching the internet I find the Street Demon comes in a very rich set-up from the factory for some reason. I think I have it nailed though.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Looking at some on speedway motors that say they are smoothed where did you get yours ceramic coated?

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Did those reduced head bolts come with the manifolds or did you get ARP bolts?…
Those look great on that engine…… |

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Thanks Scotti.
I just got the engine stabbed in today and started torquing the trans to engine bolts. What a pain in the keester that is. I took a break, think I'll continue tomorrow.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Man, that would make me nervous to remove and reinstall that engine with all the new paint around it. Good idea with the towels and pads

Also just FYI I purchased an articulating engine lift device from Mac's years ago. The first time I installed the engine I had removed the front end, easy. This time I thought it would work as is. Kind of tricky had to remove it over the side fender area. I'm sure a simple engine lift plate would have been better in this instance. I just didn't have one. And I'm not removing the hood!
