1991 roller 360 with 71 J heads with the big valves. Just had a reputable machine shop go through the heads.

Put in some KB 107's and all new barrings. It has a fairly aggressive cam in it.
Just got it back in the car yesterday.

We put clay in the valve reliefs and rolled it over by hand a few times to make sure nothing was going to hit.

Then stuck it back in the dart.

It fired right up and runs great. You can hear that we still had some valve adjustments to do in the video.
Video was taken after initial brake in run.

Found some oil under it, coming from the back of the oil pan. looks like we'll be pulling the pan off and installing another new gasket set.
