i was hoping to cruise back to the 50's, and if it would of popped off i would have had the motivation to run a few brake lines and some wiring. i was watching american hotrod last night and got all motivated... them guys re-did a 29t in 8 days..i wish i still had that kind of energy. i figure its going to take 2-3 weeks depending on how long rooster needs the block and crank and it takes a week for the pistons and bearings to come. it usually runs about 300 to have it bored and boiled. 16$ a cylinder plus shop time i think. the pistons are probaly around 300 also. but i already have a fresh set of heads with stainless valves and hardened seats. its do able.... hopefully this is the last time for a long while i have it out. i am thinking about using a floating wrist pin, and installing my bearing dowell pins also.
