Can be seen here in the top of the blue section of my engine stand.

Post by: cjshaker on February 26, 2020, 01:03:38 AM: I would not recommend pulling the pin. The last time I did that, things got ugly real quick. After the police left, I had to try and explain things to the Miss. It took 2 months for my eyebrows to grow back, but things got back to normal after a while. I slight limp from one leg being shorter than the other is the only thing I have to show for it now.

I do have a thread going over in the projects section on this engine. The thread title is "Original 427 SOHC Rebuild."
I titled the thread before the owner decided to put his tunnel ram back on!!
