Is this common for a new head to be all over the place? Every spring had 2- .063 shims and 1- .030 shim under them. I will NEVER buy assembled heads again.

This is what I was doing last night till 2am. Part numbers are up top, some are figured for different installed heights for higher pressures, and spring rate is under that. to right is cost. Some springs are the same/similar just different treatments. Apologize for the mess. But if your cam or anyone's valve lift is close to .545, this is a good starting point.

More parts showed up today! Getting closer. Bringing crank, rods, pistons, damper and flex plate to my machinist on Tuesday. Hope to have it dynoed in a couple weeks.

Last pic of the day before I covered her up. The truck used is my dads, 1945 Ward LaFrance, M1A1. Its a wrecker for pulling tanks and other big things out of the mud in WWII.

Junk yard dog AJ in the back making sure I'm not loafing. Engine on stand and is now in my shop. Tomorrow I am tearing it apart to get ready for the new parts and to cc everything. I am also going to pull the caps and mains to check them out and plasti gauge them to make sure they are still in spec. They should be as engine only has 4000k on it max sense I did the machining in school.

Engine bay shot. Going to pressure wash bay and everything I can to have it as clean as possible for body guys. Although they will prob get it dusty. Going to replace brake fluid and try to clean up some of the wires. I wish when I did the engine swap years ago, that I didnt cut them. Eventually the original motor is going back and the car will get put back how it rolled off the floor. This winter I may look for a nice roller. or next... :)

She's out and separated from tran. Mounting on engine stand, pulling block drains to empty radiator fluid. In the market for converter bolts. I cant find them anywhere. At least for a 700r4.. Preferably ARP.

I dont know how you guys do it, but up here in MN, this is how we pull our engines. Makes it breeze. Tran and all. You can stand the engine straight up if needed.

Got most the parts off to ease removal. Headers are a pain. 1/8 of a turn from top side, 1/8 a turn from the bottom side. Defiantly going to look for a bolt with a smaller shoulder on them or turn the shoulder down in my lathe. I ordered some arp's and I ope they fit. Also in the market for some new headers. Mine are fine, just a very tight fit and I had to customize the collector to get it to aim back. Want a style that fits better and is readily available to replace if they go bad.

Definatly going to put a different pitcock on the radiator. A style where a guy can slip a hose over so radiator fluid doesnt run down the core support and drip out of every hole. Jacked under tire to tip car to prevent fluid running. Really dont like spilling anything on the ground.

Starting to pull engine. I think I'm going to find a A.C delete for more room. If anyone has one to sell, PM me please.

Unloading from trailer. You can see the dent it acquired being in storage. Of course no one knows anything... Hope the body guy can fix it easily. Rather not spend more in time and labor than another used door would cost. I would really like to keep the original door. Car has only 84k on it. Very clean. No rust anywhere.
