    I am waiting on some lifters. But progress is slow and steady on this ole girl.
    had a performance grind on the cam
    going to go with some fenton headers.
    Have not decided on a 4 barrel or dual or tri intake...yet...any input would be appreciated.
    probly going with a saginaw 4 speed conversion too.
    already re geared the rear end.
