Nice, sounds like you did a good job.. did you rebuild her yourself?

Yes I did.
I wish I would have had a spare engine to rebuild because it took almost 2 months to get all of the machining done, not to mention all the time it takes to assemble, measure, disassemble, machine etc. So far it was worth it.

I may do another engine for the 84 pickup using a 20 head next.

One thing that supprised me is I really don't notice much if any difference in bottom end power. The way people were talking about losing the bottem end if I ported and added large valves, I thought it was going to be a dog and it isn't. I did lighten the flywheel though. so no doubt that had to help.

Another thing is, I didn't know what to expect with the Centerforce Dual Friction clutch. I thought it would be grabby, but, it isn't. It is supposed to hold something like 95% more power, but, it couldn't be smoother or lighter when engaging and disengaging.

Take care.
