1970 Swinger 340 resto
It’s been a while since I gave an update. Things went slow over the winter for lack of shop time. I spent about a month just getting a Harbor Freight blasting cabinet together with its million screws. It works good when I switched from walnut shells to sand. Still need to add more light. After blasting the side cover on my transmission I finished it and cleared the table for head work. Pictured is finished A833; blasting cabinet; and a semifinished combustion chamber on a 915 J head. I have milled them to 60 cc after cleanup and the quench pad is about 40 thou. I found a couple of places in Columbus OH that can do me a five angle valve job when I visit my sons later this month. I ordered Speedpro H116CP pistons for static compression close to 10.5. Using Wallace with 280 degree cam I will be under 165 cranking.
