I wish I had someone around me that I coulld borrow one from for *this* job...like to get one down the road though.
Summit and Jegs have gone up a bit on those.... but still cheaper than most on EPay.
and Rusty.... those springs I mounted on this head THAT bad, for my intended use? Ive been reading your (now) 14 page "hot rod bliss" thread,,,,
sounds like "keep it simple" is the theme, not going overboard.... which I think I might have on a couple aspects of this thing.... never spent this much time or money on what will amount to a pretty basic build..... though prices on everything arent what they used to be anyways.....
I have a thread on this build on ",org" and went by those guys there that said at the time I got those 318 springs that they would be adequate for this kind of build..... before I started getting ideas from over here.
and just so you guys know, (some) of what I post is for the good of others here/ that might not know a question needs to be asked at a given point, even though I may have a "pretty good idea" of which way to go.
Much of the whole reason I posted this thread (besides as a record for me, since my chicken scratch can sometimes be worse than a Dr (haha) even though I'm just a lowly fleet mechanic employed by a miserable state..... is so that other guys on here, like the kid who posted that "fast engine rebuild" thread can see some of the aches and pains in getting a rebuild "just right" without having to dig in for a partial (or complete) redo....... and more wasted cash. IF they want to go back and read others' posts older than their own.
