As I have been asked, it is a little slow at the moment, but at least its forward slow.
It was my intention to not touch the engine until it was up and running, but that gone through the roof. As you know I hav removed and sold the 4v manifold and got a 2v Holley Dominator one instead.
I have bought roller rockers and ajusters for which the rocker posts have to be machined to fit, the heads have been taken off and someone is looking to see if they can do it.
all the old valves and springs have been put to one side
I ordered and recieved a cam kit which includes all the bits to match the cam.
After looking at the old valves and pushrods, when money allows a new set will be ordered up with a complete gasket set and a sfi ballancer and flexyplate. the complete engine will be completely stripped down and rebuilt with new parts where needed (When I bought the engine, the bottom end had not long been done, but I will have a look anyway)
More news when it happens and my site will be updated (much the same as this posting,) before the weekend.

Thanks for the update Tony.

Had a little time on my hands today and decided to clean the top of the pistons and tops on the block, when I cleaned the pistons they were stamped 040. so it does look like it had a resent rebuilt.
So heres a question for you out there, what size does that make the engine? (351 + 40 thou)
Will be putting on my engine stand in the next couple of days and giving it a good clean and check over.
