ok so... im probably the slowest thread builder of all time. it seems i havent updated this post in a year. so here goes.
since last year.
engine rebuilt bored .20 over due to one cylinder having an imperfection.
new cam, resurfaced flywheel
head rebuild by local machine shop. rebuilt lower myself.
tranny and transfer reconditioned and new seals. everything spec'd out so same bearings.
center arm rebuilt, steering box rebuilt, new axle seals, pinion seals, birfeild and front hubs rebuilt
(yes I bought the centering tool and will consider renting out)
local plater does all my plating cheap- son of the owner- he does it as a "side job" 10 pounds of bolts etc for 50 bucks!
manafree headers installed -- will be desmogged--
working on rebuilding a carb right now but may need to give @pinhead a holler. having an issue or two...
sorry for the long delay between posts.
