i did a lot of the same things to mine i found mine rusted out burried in some1s back yard

 

Hey Bud...

Actually, what I was REALLY wondering, especially if you do port and polish, etc., .... is 'will you be doing OS Valves?' Most machinists want a lil more than it's worth on that end, making it cheaper to just go "engnbldr.com" on the 'STREET RV HEAD' end of things... BUT, some like the occasional 'different type add on' work... So I was just curious... ALL sounds great, man!

 

for now i wont be doing any work to the head, eventually id like to get a high performance head

 

got my bed and a bunch of other random parts, thanks ed! the bed is better than mine, but has some pretty good rot in it, me and a buddy are gonna go over it and fix it

 

some of you may be wondering why im replacing my bed well ill let the pictures talk, the chunk of bondo is over 1/2 inch thick!

 

I can understand you wanting to replace your bed. That is one reason Bondo gets such a bad name as people try to build panels with it. You would be surprised at how deep I have seen it. Glad you were able to get the bed.

 

Yea I knew it was bad but I didn't think it was this bad

 

just ordered my new engine kit, should be here tomorrow or the next day

 

got my gasket kit and rod bearings today, rest of the stuff should be here tomrrow

 

got the rest of my parts today, dropped the pistons off at the machine shop so hopefully ill be back up and rolling by sunday night

 

Woot! lol... Congratz, man! Bet you're ANXIOUUUUUUUUUUS! lol.

I always add 3-4 days to WHATEVER they tell me(machinists) is it's 'done time'! lol. NEVER happens for me, not hardly anyway. They always get walk ins, all day, and that just is great for them!..... Not always for the guy trying to get it back, right? haha.

Sounds like they were just waiting for the rest though, so s'all good! Who's doing this, bud?

 

napa in a town about 50 miles away, the guy estimated me probly monday and called me today to tell me it was done! picking it up in the mornin, and spendin the weekend putting it back together

 

ANXIOUS! hahaa...

 

crank now needs ground, yota is goin on he backburner gonna rade my four wheeler for a reliable vehicle, cant afford to dump money into it, will fix it as money allows

 

Got bored a

 

Got bored at work, threw on some 33x12.5's, gonna try and trade my 31's for 33's now

 

 

uuuh... i wanna axe you somthin'...

 

Haha I was wondering if anyone would notice

 

The 33's look good on there, looks like you got enuff clearance. When you going to swap beds, after the engine is done? The axe was a nice touch, didn't even notice at first, lol.
