Not a ton of updates. Going back together with my 5.3. It ended up being a lot high miles than I was initially told so I tore it down and I’m doing a refresh.
Currently have the heads apart but looks like they will need work and trying to decide if I should have the valves ground. Someone went crazy with a Roloc disc at some point in its life.

Nice valve spring tool!
Can you find a used set of heads on marketplace for cheap? Colorado custom cylinder heads will shave those flat for pretty cheap otherwise. But a valve job will bump up the cost. Are you going through the short block as well? How about some more wheeling pics?

Going to keep my eyes open for a used set. May have them machined not sure yet. I’ll post some more.
Also, cleaning up some VERY rough OE soft to bows that I used to run as is but the top never fit right.
I welded some tabs on and used 1/4-20 nut Serts. That oughta piss some people off
Need to do some work on the windshield frame from my accident it doesn’t really fit there…

Nah I bought a new paki top back in 2008 or 9 and used these crappy bows but wanted them to be a bit nicer. They never had a middle bow, and had some rust, so trying to fix them up.
Here’s an old pic at wheeler lake with the top on

Hey, look at that! I want to see more. I’m really jealous, too.
