I finially started putting my car back together tonight. I'm so happy that I finially got the stuff I need to get it running again its only been down for like a year. I had a goal of lifters and push rods in tonight but only got around to cleaning up the gasket surfaces on my heads and getting my lifters in. I would have gotten it all done but the guy where I'm keeping it doesn't want me working past 9. So now the new goal for tomorrow is push rods in and rockers set, lower intake on, and maybe valve covers. I highly plan to have it running this weekend I promised my car tonight it would be so I gotta stick to it lol

I'll keep ya'll posted

by any chance....did you order any new performance parts??? bc a year to save could get you some good stuff. IMO, its a waste to just put your car back together stock after those long, sweaty, painful work nights. but if money doesnt allow, then STBY
