Thanks Blake.
I actually thought it was going to be a little more. I was hoping for 400 HP. I guess it's time to start looking into some crack. I mean NOS.  :D

Really nice Don!  Looks like you got things sorted out quickly.  I agree that you may have some hp left on the table, with the mods and cam you have.  Let us know how it does at the track.

You're gonna need a cage.  Good numbers Don,  looking forward to seeing the car again   :cheers:
You can make a barn door fly with enough horsepower.

Retirement at last.  Wife's not happy, I bought a '66 Rustang instead of paying off my F150.

Probably not. The car is pretty much as far as I want to take it for now. If I go any farther I'll just keep breaking shit.  ;)
I have a lot of high dollar items coming due in the next couple years. Roof, windows, water heater, probably redo the deck.

Replaced all brake lines and installed Corksport stainless lines.
New calipers all around
New brake master
Remote starter solonoid


Corksport Rear camber adjustment link


Beehive valve springs for the new mechanical roller cam


Changing the springs


Relieving spring seats for the beehive springs




New valve guide seals


Before porting and polishing


During porting and polishing


Final result


Getting the heads flat




Assembled heads




Roller lifters


Clearancing new billet timing cover for cam button




New lightweight Fidanza aluminum flywheel


Putting it all back in


New urethane motor mounts


I love that leveler


Magazine shot?  ;)


My custom chromoly T56 cross-member




Almost done


The ricer in me likes this NRG quick release wheel
