Car runs again!

Got the car started after putting on Vortec heads with bigger valves. Had to use stock rockers for now until I can afford new self aligning roller rockers. Mine won't fit under the valve covers without more machine work for the guide plates and the ARP screw-in studs. Car sounds great. Will be taking it out on the road again when I get brake fluid back into the brakes (Need to stop somehow).

So, I have a set of non-self aligning roller rockers for sale. They are the Crane Cams Gold rockers. Asking $200 for them. I will throw in new ARP screw-in rocker studs and Comp Cam push rod guide plates for an extra $50. Anyone interested, please let me know on this thread or PM me. Thanks.

I don't need the parts but congrats on the running machine.

Mines running great but is just as ugly as ever right now. I got 25mpg on the trip to Wittman the other day!!

Re: Car runs again!

Put my new roller rockers on and test drove the car. Feels great! Smoked the tires a bit getting onto Gilbert Rd. Still have to get the throttle body on and fix the valve cover gasket (it slipped when putting it back on). Hoping to get runners sometime soon. Then comes the body work and paint.
