Why the heck are the heads off now? I thought this engine was dynoed at Dwayne's place over a year ago? Is there a detonation issue on pump gas?

Hey Brad any progress is good progress. I started working on myself trying to walk at least 2 miles a day last week. Hopefully that will get me over my laziness and get me motivated. Goodluck on your projects.

Oh come on.
I sure want to know what you're up to. PM me if you wanna talk about it.
But as said...any progress is good including progress on oneself.

Brad, just keep a progress thread going... I know for me it helped motivate me, and kept me going at times. Here's a thought. Make a goal. Say, I want it ready for THIS event... and try to make it happen. How far is it for you to make Monster Mopar Weekend next year, at Norwalk, in July?

It don’t have to be a play by play documentary. Just an occasional picture. No need to add to the work.

Glad to hear you are getting back on it. Life tends to keep us all busy especially when the kids are young. But you have kept the car now its time to sjow her some love and time as you can. Keep plugging away!

Are those the Edelbrock Super Victors, or what ever they are called? What rockers are they?

Why the heck are the heads off now? I thought this engine was dynoed at Dwayne's place over a year ago? Is there a detonation issue on pump gas? Please... don't get me started. I look forward to your post & progress on the car.

What's the deal Brad? Don't let a few bad comments ruin the update for the rest of us that are interested. This site gets a lot less traffic than it used to, sadly. Facebook has taken over it seems...I hate it b/c I'd much rather follow stuff like this here. That and I can't get on FB at work, lol.
