    Got the Eddies in today, on a scale of 1-10 my excitedness is a 900. Put in the baby cam so I can measure for pushrod length. Bolted everything back together just so I could look at it. My junk gives the illusion of speed

    Thanks I can't wait to get running! But I'll leave carbonaters to the pros, and I'll keep my boost by gear, and traction control

    They are mild steel spintech longs from 2008 ceramic coated in Calgary. I'll be running them until I go turbo.

    What size primaries?
    I'm wanting to try some smaller tubes....

    And I'd get those Eddy's looked over before you run em...Valve stem clearance, valve job...etc.

    They're 1 3/4" primaries.

    Before I bought them the guy got them checked out at AMS Engines in Edmonton and everything was in spec, but I'll disassemble them and check them out.

    I've been walking past the truck almost everyday, haven't worked on it in almost 3 weeks. Should be getting an update from Geoff about my flywheel tomorrow though. Feels depressing, still a million things to do and almost no ambition to do any of it. The wire tuck is going to be the hardest/most tedious part, still need to figure out what Throw out bearing to use with the Z28 trans, and if the Dakota master cylinder will have enough volume for proper disengagement.

    Why didn't that ever cross my mind, that makes so much sense, I've been running them like that for 2 years... WTF

    Oh well, it's just for mock up going to cut the breathers off and weld on -12 or -10 fittings for a catch can.

    got a crank spacer turned down to fit the Comp Degree wheel, and take up the airspace in the crank bolt.

    Didn't get near as much accomplished as we were hoping, had my buddy come out an give me a hand, as well as my father stopped by for a bit to help as well. Spent a good 2 1/2 hrs just cleaning up the motor to get rid of the grime. Then installed the cam. We were going to degree the cam but I didn't have an extension to reach the lifter with the indicator. Ended up installing the heads to use them as a guide to locate the push rod. We then Degreed the cam to find out it was installed at 144 Degrees, turns out the cam chain was installed 2 teeth out on the cam bolt and retarded on the crank sprocket. The problem being, if I take of the crank bolt there is no way for me to determine TDC again without a piston stop. Soooooo, jumped the gun a bit on installing the heads, but I'll get a piston stop for next weekend and I'll be able to finish building the motor. This is quite the learning experience, torqued down the first set of heads in my life.
