I'm surprised the motor lasted this long with all the changes he has done over the 2 years.

The motor is really in perfect shape... The only thing that could screw it up now, is my assembly or a nice 200 shot

It would be done but someone (cough DON cough) never sent me the pushrods, then convinced me last minute to buy new valvesprings... She hopefully be breathing by Sunday through a .600+ cam

That'd be the one...

I won't be able to make Camaro day, but I should be able to make an apearance at Don's and I will be at the Summer Nat's with the old SS. Gonna try and cruise up there with Danno!

Can't wait to hear that cam, I'm going to try and get a sound clip of her first breath. Rods came today, spring will be here tomorrow. If you're listening Don, TSP even beat the price you told me

Been there on my 99 FRC. I had a set of SLP's on it and it was a bitch with the starter. I found it alot easier to have the header bolts real loose on the head with no pipe attached. The wiring to the starter was a pain in the *** I remember also. Sometimes it's better to leave it and get a fresh start the next day. Good luck, hope it goes well.
