    Not really. It already has a cam. I don't feel like spending the money on heads/rockers, I have a Cobra intake and long tubes for it. Gonna 1000%, seal up any potential leaks, so new oil pan gasket and bolts, new valve covers /gaskets/locking bolts. The big thing is that the booster is so...

    I need someone to explain to me the magic of fuel line disconnects. These fit perfectly in the collar and I can feel the prongs being pushed in. But they will not come apart.

    Had this over at a friend's place soaking in an ultrasonic cleaner. Wire wheeled all the remaining rust. Hit it with some silver wheel paint. Hopefully it stays looking that good.

    Getting the timing chain cover to go nicely over the curved part of the oil pan gasket was a royal pita. I did put some black RTV in the corners where the cover meets the pan and a bit under the oil pan gasket. It's the nice full rubber one with the metal inserts. So hopefully no leaks. Also...

    Aight. Did a thing. Also, while I wait on more parts, I tried a rattle can thing. That's what the whole car looked like when it was freshly painted.

    I picked up the proper Fel Pro gasket for the water pump backing plate. Gray is the POS that came with the water pump. I feel like I should trim the inner blue off the Fel Pro to match so that there's not free floating gasket on the inside of the pump. Thoughts?
