Just kind of a bump so I don't lose this thread.
Going to go back to the shop today or tomorrow and see what is up. Last time I went, he hadn't done anything to the block though....
But I will be buying a "kit" from performance only. I bought a 68 charger r/t last month and decided it was too much of a project for me. I put it on ebay with a high reserve/buy it now price and it actually sold after 6 hours, should cover the cost of this build and then some . Still waiting for the rest of the money to be put in my account though.
Trying to put together a list of other stuff I will need. Gotta get the "hemi" oil pan, springs/locks for the heads, and I'm guessing valve covers(but I'm not for sure yet). I was hoping to have it being assembled by now, but no word from the machine shop.
So ya, just a bump so I can look over the thread to help me keep track of what I'm trying to do. Thanks again for all the suggestions.
