Still plugging along....
I remembered that I had sold Wes Adams a 360 crankshaft that had been turned down/widened to BBC rod journals, so I asked him if he still had it. He did. I then asked if he wanted to sell it. He did. Long story short, it's here again.
I also bought some connecting rods.
Block work is completely finished.
Streetmaster intake is off to JDC to be ported.
New bumpstick is a custom solid roller. Similar specs to the flat tappet. Couldn't grind on a 104, so I went as tight as I could without having to have a special core made. It's on a 106.
Decided to go the cheap route and use the C0AE-D heads that I had. They are all cleaned up now and look absolutely beautiful. New 7mm bronze guides installed, spring seats milled flat, and valve job completed. These things are not performers as of right now and not sure they will be but I'm gonna be working on that. With a 2.125" 7mm intake valve and a 1.600" 7mm exhaust valve, with a 3-angle valve job and some seat blending, we're dealing with a blistering 240 cfm @ .700". The exhaust side (without a pipe) is 165 cfm at .700". It is what it is and if I can get them up to out of the box Edelbrock standards, I'll call it a day and aim for 500-525 hp.
Waiting on the cylinder head work to be finished before I order pistons.
