I have mainly been in the part collection mode right now. To start it off I was able to get a replacement exhaust valve from RockAuto, so that now I can give the machine shop a call to go through the heads. I plan to have the machine shop disassemble, hot tank, 3-angle valve job, install the new valve seals, and go over the spring pressures of the heads.
I also got in the last remaining piece I need which as a new heavy duty water pump. I will need to of course be painted to match the rest of the engine as well. Lastly, I can then cut a stencil of the cars logo I built a while back to put on the valve covers to be painted. So, I can then finish up putting together the long block of the engine.
I need to get back on the lower intake porting out the heads side, since I finished porting the top side. Need to get the bottom plate off the lower intake so I can then thoroughly clean the lower intake.
