Well i decided to go big or go home haha, ordered the Advanced Induction Cam kit with the 226/243 .569/.570 110 LSA and all the valve springs rockers and all that good stuff. Everything i need to put the motor back together. Hoping it comes fast but could be a few weeks. Will prolly start a new thread for the build.

That thing should run like a raped ape once you're finished. I can't wait to make a trip up to Cordova this spring and see how well that AI cam performs.

Yeah, you should easily be able to unload 'em. I saw them on some site for like $190 for the whole kit that I sold you.

O yeah, I know. I wouldn't care anyways. Whatever you can get for them. If you hadn't bought them, they'd probably still be sitting in my basement anyways. lol.

Well hopefully you didn't run it long enough to score up your cylinder with that Anti-Freeze or get it in the oil in your crankcase! Stupid head gaskets!

How much of a pain was it removing the heads w/ the engine still in there? Me and my buddy have to do his wife's head gaskets.

look at it taking you about 40hrs to complete.
make sure you have multiple height socks and extensions in both 1/2 and 3/8 drive.
and get a fuel line disconnect tool.
its not bad. just a lot of working from underneath, bending over, cuts on your hand.
def made me appreciate the engine bay in my chevelle more.
