As far as the price,,,,,, buy once cry once. I am sorry I didnt start doing business with him a long time ago.
My engine builder has talked to him a few times about some SBC stuff and he says the same thing about Bob. He has learned a few things from him and he is one the most knowledgeable engine builders in my area.

As far as the crying thing, I kinda figured that. I guess I'll go get me some kleenex.. But you gotta pay to play and AllPro makes some good ****. I will be talking to Bob shortly.

Haven’t been taking pictures lately, I will catch it up later. I did get some parts that I am excited about at ERL. I believe I have everything I need for the engine now.

Good looking stuff man!

I talked to Bob@AllPro and I know I have good pockets but I don't have pockets that deep for heads.

Thats a callies magnum. This is the new BBC 2.200 rod journal stuff that is only available through ERL. Notice the rods are the new canted XD callies rods but they also have ERL on them. The bigger rod journals make for a stiffer crank

I noticed the canted rod, that's some trick stuff, very nice. Good luck with your build. For a while, our cars were asthetically clones with the hoods and FMIC, right down to the hood latches. I didn't even realize it till recently. I can't take credit for the paint scheme as Fireball was the one who did the paint work on it.

Bought time for some updates
I have the rear suspension installed. The Midwest chassis parts are incredible. The fit and finish are perfect. Everything falls together with no slop or tight spots. The suspension travels up and down with no binding perfectly even. There are even a bunch of tabs for the brake lines.

I see you have your Goss device installed.

Did you order that from HED?

Looks great. Won't be long.
