    Progress Thread Motivate Me For The Love Of God

    Comp Pro Magnum 1.6s. They ran fine on my old C9OE heads. I really wish it was simple enough that AFR could sell heads/rockers/pushrods in a complete bolt on package. Too many variables I guess. I'll get back out there maybe tonight and see what I can figure out.

    So I believe my pushrods are too long. Problem is everyone I ask gives me a different answer. Seems like no 2 people can agree on a way to measure. The video I posted a ways back seems fool proof but apparently I'm a really good fool because something is wrong somewhere. For starters I was...

    It needs a few black accents to work. When I get home I'll post a pic of it before we did the grill in black...it was not good. I'm real cautious about changing the wheels too.

    I've been going with green goblin on my car (just as probably everyone with a green car does) but I think I'm gonna get plates that say "WTH ENVY". I dunno, I already have historical tags on it and I don't think I can have both.

    BBK LTs Another possible buy! Yes or no deal wise?

    All headers seem over priced these days. I searched all over for decent ones and said screw it I may as well buy new.

    Radiator ordered, says I'll be here Monday. Pushrods came yesterday so I may get out Saturday and make sure I got the right size.

    Grab it with two hands and literally twist it in the direction you want it to go in.

    So guys I've just finished measuring pushrods using this method... View: https://youtu.be/o5is9BsH5OU And I'm coming up with exactly 6.5 inches twice in a row (measure twice, order once). Does this sound right for my heads/block/cam etc? Standard height 302 block as far as I know, cam is an...

    TFS stage 1 cam advance amount???

    I'm not sure advance/retard is going to give you what you want if bottom end is more valuable to you than top end. Honestly you may just be better off with the stock cam or another cam that is geared towards torque production (RV cam) instead of top end. What's the rest of the combo?

    TFS stage 1 cam advance amount???

    Lots of cams are ground with advance in them already. I'm a dot to dot guy myself. K.I.S.S.

    I like the idea of a brush/roll on paint because there's less chance I'll get overspray on the outside, it feels more controlled. I wonder if the Rustoleum Professional stuff will self level? It comes in a non spray version too and it's way cheaper than Por-15.

    1) Yeah, I hadn't fully appreciated the CNC finishing on these heads until I pulled the valve out and got a better look inside. 2) Oh no, I'm not touching those ports. The headers might be a little overkill, but at least I know they won't be choking the exhaust ports out one bit now. 3)...

    Honestly I may just mask the whole thing off and rattle can it. I'm pretty good with a spray can, I've done rims that look powdered and I know of at least one type of Rustoleum that is stupid tough and has lasted for years on rims. We'll see. Finally got these little springs on my heads, so...

    I'm finding mixed reviews, one said the stuff isn't even as good as Rust-Oleum rattle can, lots of people say use epoxy or self etching primer. I honestly don't have the time or funds to "do it right" and the last thing I need is another reason for this thing to sit in the garage. I read that...
