Very nice build . Are you using 2 gaskets to get the valve covers to clear. I would be curious what the dyno numbers would of been with the stock exhaust manifolds to keep that stock appearance
Just like 805moparkid said use the moon washers and make some cooler lines . As for the column shift I had no problem.I Used a Bouchillon kickdown cable
The following timing is taken at .050" lifter rise and gives a more accurate determination of camshaft position.This info was is the timing chart from Isky but very close to the MP. the link is below.

thanks again for everybody help
I have resolved my problems. What I did was I used a roller lifter :oops:to gain some height for the dial indicator that would explain the 11 degrees, not thinking about the surface area. rechecked with PROPER LIFTER Intake duration 255 Exhaust 254 Intake CL 108.5 Exhaust CL 113 lobe seperation...
Degreeing in my first camshaft not sure if the cam is ground wrong or I'm doing it wrong. Intake CL 108.25 and Exhaust CL 112 which are good , Lift 372 thats ok but when I check duration I get 230@50.Procedure Setting dial indicator to zero at base of cam rotating to .050 on the dial read...
Well pulled the motor and found there was no pickup,off to the wreckers tomorrow thanks to everyone for the help trying to solve this . Not the experience I wanted for my first six experiment . Things should be better tomorrow if I can get it back in the car.
yup 5 quarts, oil pickup not sure , pump and filter primed, the pressure relief valve moves freely- spring installed, bad pump ? Pulling motor tomorrow. Thanks for the ideas
Thanks darter6 for that info before I remove it i'm going to check the relief spring first. The pickup was all clean before assembly (new rebuild). On slantsix site I was told I could prime it through the pipe . Not sure what else it could be everything was new:banghead:
