Man, I want those heads.

Shame that "Bad Ass" motor is going into a Nova....:smt022

Bet it would run faster in a big tired Camaro. :thumb: :thumb:

Looks good buddy. When can we hear it running?

Harry, it's locked up like fort Knox if that's not good enough I have 2 big ole dogs that will lick you to death if that dosn't work my girlfriend will offer you a cup of coffee and talk you to death........... :shock: I think it's covered quite well. :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Bruce if you lived closer we would put it in you big tired Camaro and show it how this Nova motor could make it run. It might even be fun. :thumb:

Don't tempt Bruce like that unless you're serious. Heck, I about had him talked into coming to Kansas and helping me dig this drainage system I'm building in exchange for some deep fried green beans. yumyum:

I have damn near the same heads and dont lock my garage....lol.

Chris the car looks like its coming together. I just got done putting the motor/tranny in the car. As I was getting that done my dad was finnishing matching the gaskets on the intake to the heads. I need to send back my ti retainers I am not using and order a N20 plate. Our big car show is this weekend, but its forcasting snow again????If I dont indulge in too many beverages I think I can get all but the interior of my car put back together this weekend WOOOHOOO.
Get back to work I really want to see what your car runs. Good luck Jason
