Thanks. Im tryin to getter runnin for the season. Im behind but should be on the road soon. The doors will take me a lil while cuz I only put in a lil time everyday cuz of work. But theyll get done for the first run of the season

 

doors are looking good i have seen people use old tool box handles on there half doors not exactly sure how but they seem to mount pretty flush and work great just don't know how they do it

 

Props to ya Zach! Doors are lookin awesome

 

Thanks guys. I am lookin to use the exterrior handle. I have most of the bugs worked out in using them should have the first one finished soon. As for my head.... its a pre 85 head (round exhaust ports) its too tall for my timing chain. I didnt know there was a difference haha. Hopefully I can find one down at the yard to swap for.

 

Weird.... I didnt know there was a difference either

 

Yeah, ya learn something new everyday I guess. I have a line on a head from an 87 so we will see. The guy is gonna call me tomorrow sometime to let me know.

 

I've posted this a few times on here, but LCE has changed their pages slightly. I believe ocdropzone has it put into his notebook of good ideas as well.

Aight I got the proper year head today. The guy jus swapped me out. He even offered me a job hahahaha. Gettin it ready to slap on there.

 

nice man. hope install goes better than acquisition

 

Most definitly.
I got the intake on and the head torqued down. Just gotta button up the rest in the morn. I did run into one snag while torqin it down. The bolts were dirty as hell and were a female dog to get in the first time around. I cleaned them up, chased the holes with the cleanest bolt, and ran the other bolts down the #1 bolt hole (cleanest I thought) and then commenced to torque it down again. The second time around was much better. I was gonna power thru and get it all done tonight but Im tired, so to finish it up in the morning.
