Had a great fathers day with my son and my Dad. We stuffed the crank in my junk yard 5.3.
First time in my life I have stuck something together that I know is not perfect just because so many people have gotten away with doing the same. Freed up a bunch of money to do other things though! More pics to come!

Awesome woman. Dude put some shoes on her when she's porting though. Just asking for slivers. And you should know, metal slivers are the worst!!!
That's a damn good wife though. It's good she shows interest.

making some changes. I decided to run an air filter. And, I changed intakes to the Holley Sniper as well engine mounts. The BRP mounts are sooooo much nicer than anything else I have bought. I am on my 3rd set of mounts. Should have just spent the money once.
So, car is at 16W Fabworks to get another round of fabrication. Starting with these beauties.

I've had my wife help me lower the head down onto the block in the engine bay of one of my cars because I couldn't see what I was doing. I've also got her to operate the jack, and do a few other things in the garage as far as working on my projects. Never had her file rings or do some headwork though. Nice job!!!
