I pulled the motor to fix some oil leaks and while I was at it, I swapped cams. I took out the 350 horse 327 cam and stuck in the second smallest Lunati Voodoo cam.
Broke the cam in to Lunati's directions...20 minutes at 2500 rpm then 3000 for 1 minute, then 3500 for one minute.....then was supposed to work down by 500 rpm steps for 1 minute.
While doing the 3500 rpm step (21 miutes into breakin...in the driveway), a hoseclamp on the lower radiator hose failed and the lower hose blew off of the water pump.
Not sure if it cooked the rings or cracked/warped the heads.
If this motor craps out...I have a good guess as to why.Last edited by Flipper_1938; 06-16-2010 at 06:08 PM.

Turns out my initial valve adjustment was wrong. Don't know if i didn't pump up the lifters enough or what. I re-adjusted the valves while the engine was running and all is better.Last edited by Flipper_1938; 04-16-2010 at 07:29 AM.

To me they have the same visual vibe as white walls and 50's wheel covers.
Not 100% the same thing, but wide white visually make the wheel diameter larger and the tire smaller.

yes those wheels look good on your truck and I do love that finished paint job... I have been following the build thread of your boattail roadster too but have noticed that you haven't posted lately is because you are enjoying your summer months now and too busy fitting in all those hot rod drive ins etc.???I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

The main reason is the heat. It is real hard to get motivated when the air temp is 97* (probably hotter in the shop).

It's fun and it has character....but it is still a really rotten truck. ...... it NEEDS a fresh cab!There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.

Heck mate,there are guys paying good dollars for a painter to squirt that sort of finish on to their cars and you have the original stuff. Is the cab really rusty underneath or as it appears, a nice straight body with that lovely old aged look???I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
