I second that :)
FWIW, I finally got my short block back yesterday and painted it up
assembled all the ancillaries, oil pan, timing cover and all the other crap.
Today I put on the flywheel and clutch and put on the tranny.
If I get lucky my childhood friend, Steve, will help me install the combo.
I'm still waiting for Manley to send my custom made "proflo" valves so the
head can be done. They are 20.50 per, but flow a lot more air at partial
lift which should help power output. The stock exhaust valves cost almost
that and these are lighter and made of stainless and flow better. After I
get the work order the guy said anyone wanting similar valves for their car
just has to give to the work order number and they can cut it from that.
They can do U20 valves too. You guys running Solexes would get a lot of
benefit from them.
