hey bob....i was going to ask about that manifold off the 429 bu figured the car and truck would be different... well sounds like maybe rich has one already off that would be great.. i really didnt want to be trying to get one off that dent with the 460 in it because it is sitting right on the ground............ i am going to head to arkansas tomorrow to spend a few days with my new girlfriend...........thats right ya'll heard right!! this ugly wild looking old man has talked a pretty young thing into being with me without puking all over the place..its been 5 years since my wife passed so i figure its time to get back into the saddle....

Thanks for stopping by today, Bob! ...(and Lee) 
I'll try that manifold tomorrow and see if it'll work, Bob. Hopefully it'll work and I can finish this dent up and get it out of here.
Lee, As soon as I get these other two headaches out of the way, I'll get crackin' on ole' yellar.

Rc... You know about me and dim fenders..... I'll make em fit!
Jeff. Hang on to those 351m-400 parts. Valves are just part of a running problem of that engine. It's agood, low RPM, high torque engine. But it's a monster on valves, low oil pressure etc. Been through a couple of them in Ka'Bluey! Waiting for other things to settle down so I can build the 429 I got from RC...... By the way Rc.... I still have your engine stand that the engine I got from you is on
. Ok, anothe rbeer and im' gonna feede me neck.\

I'm flattered, but a machine shop could do a better job. I have to take a Chevy head up to do a valve job that I just can't make right here. The seats are too far gone. A machine shop would also be able to magna-flux them for you.
