Well, it's like Christmas at Christmas time. The Brown Santa (UPS guy) showed up at the house today and he had so many boxes that he brought the dolly to the front door at which point my wife had him come right on in and leave the stack in the hallway. Four of the boxes were from SD Performance and I now have everything for the new motor, but the short block. SD sent the intake. cam, lifters, timing gear, valley pan, oil pump, windage tray, pushrods, distributor, balancer, gaskets.....In addition, Summit sent me the control arm bushings and bumpers. The ball joints and rivet head bolts should be here soon. The intake looks great. The difference between the CNC'd unit from SD and the original is pretty amazing.
We've got a big year end deal cooking at work, but I hope to make a lot of progress on blasting, painting and reassembly between now and the New Year. I don"t think the short block will make it, but there should be plenty to do.
Merry Christmas! Here's a few pictures...
