Two 360 builds idea for heads
Wow it’s been a while how about an update…I see my last post was in august so right around the time I got covid. I guess it was the delta variant as it was sweeping its wave across ga during this time. Since kicking it’s ***, with the lords help. I buttoned up the bottom end and got the heads back from the machine shop today. I decided to use Scott’s in Fayetteville ga and I thought he was fair and straight up with me. $437 set up ready to bolt on. I was lucky in that guides where good and it didn’t need a valve job. I had lapped them in prior. He machined the spring perch down for the dual springs, verified install height, viton seals, and resurface the head just enough to clean them up. I had previously cleaned the bowls up and gasket matched the intake runners. Im hoping they are up to the task on this motor. Oh and the vinegar trick worked to good it destroyed my 484 cam. I did white vinegar 50/50 for 24hrs. it eat the machined finish right off and left all the lobes pitted. I was disappointed I really like that cam. I instead installed a mother thumper which I got the whole kit new for a deal. Not preferred but it will sound nasty. I’m not going for practicality with this one it’s a tunnel ram so it will be ridiculous regardless.
