I was thinking the same thing. Build looks good though. you know we are going to need and video of the first start up

83TransAmDayton

Yes will post video and should be getting the heads this week since its been 3 weeks now almost will start to put it all back together

83TransAmDayton

Picked up The Heads Today from Standard Machine they did A really great job was $580 for them to rework the heads with 1.940 Intake Valves and 1.600 Exhaust Valves. Just need Head gaskets and intake Gasket and motor oil,oil filter and will post up break in video and I will need to take it to get tuned at a shop

83TransAmDayton

Today Me and my Dad put the heads on with fel-pro gaskets and one bolt to hold it on till we get the Arp head bolts. Once its all together where gonna take it to Extreme Performance Here in Arizona to have it DynoJet and do some tuning and maybe have a chip made for it if we need it. I cant wait to have it on the road again but not gonna rush it and where gonna do it the right way.

Update My Dad and me put the head bolts in And Torque them down and We put the push rods and rockers on and set the reload and We put the Intake manfold on. Almost to the fun part of firing up the car.
