Thread: $4,000 and counting

Tweet

well, were counting past $4,200 now. the valve guides were shot, valves were really sloppy when I test fit them, b4 cutting the seats, so I sent the head out to have 12 bronze valve guides put in, price was quoted $150, and some of my valves were rough on the tops, which with the .495 lift cam, would wear on the new guides, so I bought 12 new valves, which was $85 for 12 thru Ford six/ Classic inlines parts. it's coming along tho, roller rockers arrived last week after a month of waiting ( they had to ship to Ford Six Parts from Australlia, so it took a while ). I put the water pump on today. tomorrow the block itself is getting color, it's going back in the car W/O head, be much easier as, there's 1 tranny bolt on the top of the motor that, could be removed/ installed from up top a lot easier, if the log/ head was not there.
