Here are the final pics...I've had some folks inquire about a few things, so I'll try to hit the basic stuff here. My budget was 4k and I came in just shy... I did all the prep & assembly myself, and farmed out the machine work and paint. A few of the vendors I used were: Jules for the wiper motor, Dave Patik (spelling?) of Performance Car Graphics re-lettered the voltage regulator cover, Hoffman's Winners Circle provided all the plug wire brackets & heat shields etc which were purchased from Jack's, Battery is from Axion (New Castle), the engine was bored and balanced by Pete Barrett of Electronic Balancing Service in Woodbridge Va. who also cut a 3 angle valve job and installed fresh bronze guides, & my good friend, Mark Shaw, restored the hood latch and associated hardware, as well as let me use his shop for paint. I estimate the total hours on my part to be roughly 200. I did go with the Comp XE 268 cam and am very pleased with it. I chose to re-use a few original items for the sake of preserving DNA...The washer pump, the rear engine ground strap and the harnesses are among them...
