Winter upgrades for 2016

Well its been a big couple days for getting things back to moving on this. Ken sent my bliwer kit and water pump housing back thurs fri and i got the new double roller timing set today and went to work. I got the timing set, cover, warer pump, cam sensor and stalk, crank sensor, balancer, water pump and did a preliminary setup on the valve train. I am going to double check the wear pattern tomorrow and if its ok im going to install as much as i can. I plan to take at leadt 1 day off this week to try to finish alot of it up.

Thanks rich im just having a problem with the valve train geometry. The rocker tip is striking the valve on the upper portion of the valve, I have the high performance lifters that are .150 deep for travel and I turn my poly locks 1.25 turns and it bottoms the lifter out. I am thinking the pushrods are too long and hope that I can find out tomorrow. I loned my adjustable pushrod out and havnt received it back yet.
 
mounts look to be right..

I got around to dropping the engine in and doing some looking at it. The mounts look to be correct this time. if you look at the engine from the right side the engine is sitting with the front side of the head even with the shock tower.. So I think we are in the right place this time.. Now I just got to get the trans in it and make sure, but it does look good for now....Rich

Did you put a degree wheel on that thing?

No the double roller timing set has the abilty to run cams that dont have the advance ground into the cam. The cam i run has the 4° ground so i just put the cam in and run it straight up.
 
Got quit a bit done, had to stop because i didnt have a tstat gasket.

will you be selling sun glasses???

WOW with all this chrome going on here you better set up a sun glass stand for all that shine... Does look great, might want to put up a warning sign so no one gets their eyes burned out on a sunny day... Just playing with you...it does look great.. I just don't have that time to make something look that good.. You must be hanging with Ken more these days....Rich

Thanks Rich! The chrome with everything else im doing should balance out. The chrome is more for naintnance as i thought about polishing it all.

My cam also had advance in it and I discovered I could not go straight up. Needed to use an offset key to get it right.
 
Getting closer!

Got a bunch done last night.
Clutch bled
Long tubes hooked to exhaust
Tstat housing mounted
Raised top smoothed.
Lower intake manifold
Fuel rail modified and mounted
Water pump test fit
