Little spring clean ups... Had my tsw wheels powder coated bronze. they look dark in this pic but in the sunlight they're significantly brighter. Also some new kumho V720's that were on clearance at tire rack. Should be fine for this car's use.

Well... the bad luck continues lol.
Had a dead hole this spring. Fixed the bad injector. had the intake off cleaning up some stuff and when i went to fire it up i heard an awful clatter sort of knocking. ya... something fell down the intake while it was off... sigh... Did a compression test. 180 on all but that cylinder. on that one i have 80.
Soooooooooooo i'm picking up a forged 383 tomorrow to swap out. I'll figure out what to do with my heads and stuff later. For now i just want to get this dang thing back on the road.

Keeping it rolling is the right way to go. Too much down time and you start pre-spending paychecks on stuff you don't need.
Eager for the update!

Lol. Harbor freights tractor section
This is a 383 with a dart rotating assembly. Btr stage 3 cam. 243 heads. Jegs roller rockers. Etc.
I may swap my trickflow heads over some day. I need to do a little research and see if theyre a match for this setup.
