But on the down side. 2 exhaust valves were ground down to far.so we decided to up the exhaust valves to 1.6. He also told me that the head surface looked good and thati should not need to mill them.we also ordered a cam. Ordered z 28 Springs and traded my stock converter.for a 2200 stall.. Thanks for all the advice guys.
Glad that you made decisions and moved forward! IMO it's better to move forward with a plan than to sit idle analyzing a hundred different paths, and wondering which one to take. Let is know how it works for you!
