Default so it begins.....

well against all better judgement, but listening to my checkbook rather common sense...

i finally started my head swap.

no stroking, not even a rebuild for my 155k motor, not even re-ringing it

wifes been layed-off for almost 2 years now, and i'm tired of waiting. who cares if it's still slow... at least the stuff won't be sitting in my garage collecting dust

eddy heads and gt40 tubular, all matched

Good to see it getting an upgrade.

The job market thing sucks. I have been to two different employment agencies and they have yet to let me know anything in 3 months time. And I have a stakin degree too.

I've been laid off twice in the last year. Job hunting again tomorrow.

And it should run a fair bit better than stock.

If you already had all the parts, i dont see what the big issue of waiting was for. Other then just screw up's, or buying MISC parts.

which edlebrock heads?

The biggest thing is what you stated....it will not just collecting dust while not running. I've done that a few times while waiting to save money for the build i want.

it has 155k and i need to re-ring

and i have hyper pistons and like to squirt... so i'd like forged

if i'm gonna do forged and re-ring i might as well overbore......

if i over bore i might as well stroke it..... see where it goes ?

lol..... i have 1.9/1.6 eddys with minor port work, had the gt40 matched to them

here they are....
