Looking great!

Tell me more about this "electric choke" version. Is there a mod kit available for non-EGR manifolds?

For those of you using the Edelbrock heads on your smallblock...any considerations with regard to head bolt kits, gaskets, rocker arm shafts or any other things that might not be mentioned in literature on these heads? In other words, are they plug 'n play as far as replacing cast iron heads...

I just watched this last night (saved to DVR). I thoroughly enjoyed it. After seeing nearly every episode I've learned to bypass Mark's off-the-wall sense of humor and concentrate on the work being done. I've been waiting a long time to see the Demon project get rolling in earnest and learned...

Kinda what I'm hoping to do.

I had my K sandblasted and powder coated. Only cost 120 bucks and done in a week. You'll thank me later.

You sound like not a fan of Eddy heads. Any particular reason(s)?

Yep.

Thanks! Project ain't going anywhere. But then, that's part of the problem.:D Guess I'm just getting tired of all the horsing around. I'm feeling ready to just flip the switch and have a shiny new set of heads show up on the door step. If it took these guys a year to do a quote, how much time...

So... After a year of them having my heads I finally was able to corner them into giving me a ballpark quote...and the news is not good. Actually, it's just as I figured. A year ago, no less. The cost to recondition the heads with guide inserts, seals, new springs and keepers, 2.02 intakes and...

You do realize it's all staged, right?
