Kinda like givin' birth huh? Only we didn't have to go through that breathin' and hand holdin' thing (phew!).
Yes, of course you'll get your shape back.

Congrats Pops!

Don, over the years I've heard many complaints on sbc starters not lining up correctly be they after market or from the parts store. When I put the 400 in the '62 pickup I swapped the nose cone from the 400 starter with the 283 starter and bolted it to the bellhousing and never had any problems.
Your engine sounds really good and I can hear the need for the baffles. Forty years ago it wouldn't have mattered. As with others I anxiously await it being finished and on the street. It will be a head turner.

Thanks again y'all. Yes, it is sort of like giving birth.......although I can't say I was brave enough to ACTUALLY go into the delivery room when all that was going on. If I did, the Doctors would have had 2 patients to deal with......my wife, and ME laying on the floor passed out.

I am convinced that baffles have to go in there. I am ordering turnouts to deflect the fumes and sound outward a little, but no question it would raise the attention of too many cops if left unmuffled. I hope even the baffles keep that from happening.

Don

Nice work.......sounds good and looks good ,cant hope for much more than that .10 thumbs up!!!!!!!
