you guys are right....

i am having a little trouble on advice with this build. its hard to convince folks that i am not a little nuts on this.

bone stock 71 400
7J2 heads w/ small intake and press-in studs
i only replaced:
timing gear
cam bearings
cam
oil pump

i only removed 1 main cap to inspect wear
and left the rotating assembly alone.

i dont want to spend a nickle i dont have to because
it is intended only to keep my bird rolling for a summer or two
until i can get my 421 build done SOLID ROLLER with all
the goodies.

that is where i want to put the cash.


i dont want it to be a piece of crap though. i just might roll over
and have the parts machined if i have to.......


sorry to hijack the thread
