Heres what I did today, took forever to measure everything but everything checked out ok. I still want to put hte oil pump, shaft, pickup tube, and front and rear seals and oil pan on tonight. Its finally coming back together!!
Did you use that ring compressor with the hose clamp for adjusting? If so, did it work okay? Just wondering, because I used one that was "one specific size" that I borrowed. Next time I get in there, I might buy one of these adjustable ones......
Yeah I borrowed that from a freind and it worked pretty good if you ask me. It was my first time so I cant compare it to any of the other one but it seemed good.
Those heads are ported Twisted Wedge heads I picked up from VibrantRedGT and the balancer is a SFI Pioneer that Grady recomended to me. The block is from a 87 with 75~k miles on it(forged pistons) and was honed, new rings/oil pump/cam bearings/main bearings/ARP bolts.
