      • I added another holley carb to my collection - in reality, I think I'll use the body from my blower carb and the base (since I modified it) from this carb.... totally worth it to do

        the aforementioned blower carb

        right or wrong these were the decision. Stainless Elgin full roller rockers. Thought seriously about the aluminum but know that the guy with the 427 in his boat had nothing but trouble with them.... so here it is

        maybe I should just stack this scoop on top of the current one....


        2 degrees off. instead of 4 advanced it's 2 degrees advanced. close enough


        so this is the bearing on the back to keep from eating into the block (and of more concern putting showers of iron in the oil)


        most of the time tonight was spent adjusting to zero lash on the cam... but it's done




        next issue is on the floor


        I suppose I could fill the gap with silicone.....


        I am concerned about oil pan clearance - not cross member because that's actually in front of the motor, but how close the pan is to the ground... ah well, if it was easy, Pirate 4x4 could do it.

                      • oil pan troubles.... you'd think if you got the pan and pickup together, they'd fit... you'd be wrong

                                Aah , you forget my friend that some of us go to church on sunday not saturday ☺. Then after church it was ice cream time . I was planning on grabing our ice cream sundays and going home for computer and t.v. time but we ran into a couple that we hadn't seen in a year or so .So we stayed and chatted .
