Yup, going to the track today. I am looking into hydroboost. Manual brakes, i don't know. This car is the best stopping vehicle i own and would hate to change that. Might have to go 4 wheel disc manual.

Thanks for the concern about Emma, once they rulled out strep-throat they gave her a big dose of Benadryl and it took care of it. Since it didn't return they felt it was a food alergy. She's good to go now!

Screwed myself I guess! I went to pick up my #1233 intake gaskets, timing cover set, and valve cover gaskets from O'reilleys. I had to order the #1233's Mon. afternoon. The gaskets came in on Tuesday and they sent them back on Thursday! They usually hold the orders for 4-7 days, not anymore it's up to the discression of the manager. Didn't get finished with the cam swap.

The #60916 has been removed/replaced with the #60311. I kept all the hydraulic lifters in order so it can be used again; the cam/lifters looked great. I have not degreed the cam yet, because the timing chain seemed a little loose for my liking. I'm going to pick up another chain, to be safe. I bought some Moly-Graphite assembly lube designed for high pressure applications; laying a thick layer on all the lobes and the bottoms of the lifters.

critter, those 9.350" JBP pushrods made a perfect pattern on the valve! Both Int/Exh made a nice wear pattern in the center 1/3 of the valve tip! Thanks!

I reordered the gaskets from Advance Auto they might be in by tomorrow morning if not by Monday. I prepaid this time so they don't get sent back! I will get the engine back running this week! I just have to be patient...

So much for getting the "Big Solid" installed for todays big car show! Maybe I'll be ready by next months show? JD
