well i spent the whole fucking weekend putting the rebuilt motor into the car only to have the apparently rebuilt carby drop out two bolts straight into the motor upon fire up and fuck my cylinders pistons and valves. So I might be going away for murder soon as I am pretty fucking pissed FUCK
also new motor sits a little taller with manafold and holley touches bonnet so have to run scoop or something now So back to the start and rebuild again -------------------- wasnt my fault I had a cramp that forced me to hit the accelerator

Well took the heads off to get the bolts out from ontop of pistons and look at damage and luckily they only bent 1 valve and did minor damage to anything else. So am getting new valves and LT1 valve spring to help it rev higher without valve bounce. Pic is of the left over bolts that was found in cylinders

so got it running good just a few little gremlins to iron out then it will be sweet and time to change diff gears. It is sporting a new outfit at the moment as just putting it in a temporaruy colour for now until ready for proper paint job. Better pics to come when pinstripe brushes and paint arrives. -------------------- wasnt my fault I had a cramp that forced me to hit the accelerator

Do not sell it, you've put so much time and money into it and it looks great. I'm not a fan at all of "minitrucks" but this looks awesome! You can store it at my house if it comes down to it! hahaha.
