ok so here we are at 130 am all cleaned up and ****... were not done YET... but weve made some more progress... first and foremost thanks to tim, jon prevost, and j0n for all the help (well get there one day) lol
but heres the update for all that dont know what went down today... i bought a new set of heads off of this guy tim in north plainfield... i stripped the heads to bare castings and cleaned them, then rebuilt them w/ the springs off the 081 head and put new seals on them. after that tim stopped by with parts (intake manifold, AFPR, and pushrods. j0n and i then went to prevo's house to get the TBI adaptor for the manifold which was an interesting drive to say the least b/c j0n has no high beams and the roads were PITCH black. anyway we got back and started bolting **** up. We installed the heads (where my extension decided to break while tightening the heads @ 80ft/lb and slammed on the firewall and gave me a pretty good cut). j0n then tightened the rest of the heads while i stopped blood from gushing out of my finger. then headers, and intake manifold+throttle body was placed onto the gaskets and finger tightened, we then installed the
correct pushrods. we finger tightened the rockers and thats where were at... the "to do" list for tomorrow is as follows:
1. torque the intake manifold + figure out all the fittings
2. dizzy
3. valve lash
4. install coil
5. vacuum lines
6. power steering and fuel lines
7. coolant and oil
8. accessory brackets
9. spark plugs + wires
10. wire it up
11. pray + start car
i dont think i have anything else to do... like i said before if it seems as though i forgot something then let me know
pic of where were at now:
