Here's whats been happening in the last month.
I pulled the 454 out of my donor truck. It had been rebuilt but I HAD to open it up for a look. Zero ridge and very obvious hone marks. They also used a double roller chain and had it balanced as well. The guy that had it supposedly spent a buch of money on it. Maybe he did. As I suspected...flat tops. YUCK!! Those will have to go! No 8 to 1 compression for me!LOL!
I thought I was ready to pull the body off the frame but decided that the first time I get a dent in my new GM rockers, I am going to be PO d! So I built some rock sliders. Also figured I would mount my cage now as well.
