Thanks for following my hopes are by documenting my build as I go one will keep me motivated and two will give me a visual of my progress and three let you guys (the pros) help me along the way do this right I have learned alot from this site. I am from southwest va. You in va also? My engine is a 318 I have a 360 for later it needs to be completely rebuilt tho and I just don't have the money. This 318 cam out of an old dodge 2wd truck I bought for parts for my 4x4 it ran strong I actually drove it some. But I'm gonna do a home port job on my heads new valve springs cam 4bbl carb and headers. All the parts other than the cam I have laying around from years ago. Thanks again I'm always open to suggestions and I'm here to learn .
Thanks James yea I had some rust there in that spot years ago and I cut it out and welded a plate in there it's been there for 16 years or better I would like to cut out and replace the whole rail but it's just not affordable for me right now. I plan on trying to dress that spot up some to make it look better but I feel that is is structurally ok. I can take some more pictures of that area if you would like a closer look. Thank you so much for your time and support.
