New 408 build finally started

It hasn’t been easy to get myself motivated the last couple of years. Between health issues that started in late 2016 and getting hit from behind last June in moms car and getting a concussion it takes the wind out of your sails. I kinda figured the way my son was talking he wanted to race his car this year but he has been sitting in front of the tv everyday since getting laid off two weeks ago. That pisses me off more than anything. He finally signed up for unemployment yesterday and has yet to file his income tax. And he has money coming back.

Maybe it will help your motivation to know that reading these technical threads has finally motivated me to get off my *** and get my car back on the road after about five or six years sitting. Mine wiped a cam lobe and I took it apart, then it sat for a few years. Even had birds get in my barn and crap all over my car.
I just spent Sunday filing rings and checking bearing clearances on the rebuild.
