[TPR] HOTELS & TECH FOR SEPT

Sun Jun 26 17:07:36 PDT 2022

Egad!  I hate hearing these stories about mechanics that went too far and didn’t do squat, costing the owner even more to make things right.  Having the time and energy, I would enjoy helping.  Unfortunately I have neither and of course I have to get Dennis Pantera done too.

Having the money, I’d go with the aluminum heads.  I think the Jessel setup should work but will require taller valve covers.  Use a good sticky assembly lube and go for it.

See about a hydraulic roller cam conversion. Or go solid, either way you’ll have fun.
😁 

All my best,
Asa  Jay

My mechanic pulled the engine a long time ago and he undid a lot of parts that did not need removal so it is a real challenge to put it back when time comes. all the fasteners are in boxes with no order. I have partially dis assembled the engine because it ran a few minutes with a oil pan full of gas.(new fuel pump failed it lasted about 30 minutes of driving)  Bearings look good, heads have no valve seat remission and crank still shows polished.  It took my boys 4.5 hours to remove the gas tank shield as my back is spasmed and can not work in the space so I have to teach the boys to be my hands.

Summit is out but one of the boys said check other vendors and by gosh ebay has exactly what I wanted.  I have jessel valve train stabilizer kit but do not know if it will fit iron Boss 351 heads.  I was running port plates on the exhaust and intake to raise the floor on the intake and exhaust like racers used to do buy cutting the heads and machining an aluminum spacer.  I also may as well replace the hoses and the rubber motor mounts.  The mech undid all my AC which used to work too.  I have spent many hours just looking for parts!!
