Anything related to guns, gas or fire and we gotta sneak it. She's got our best interest in mind though.
Yup, guide plates are gone for the time being. Prolly a new set of stamped steel rockers and some HARDENED push rods in his future. These heads are machined to accept gen 1 or Vortec intake and valve covers. We noticed that the valve covers sit a at a slightly different angle. Turns out that the tick, tick, tick was actually a little rubba-dub-dub between the rockers and valve cover! A little hammer work cured that until he can get something different, once he gets a JOB.
I'm surprised that Lincoln Locker has held up as long as it has. On jack stands there's quite a bit of backlash in the axle splines. He was talking about a *ord 8.8 as a common swap. I think you gotta use two short axles and cut one tube down to narrow it though. He did find and score a spare trans last week
. I think he's gonna kit that and swap them.
