Ok, first update. Block has some &quot;issues&quot;? seem the could have been a core shift as the lifter bores on the pass side are a little thin in areas. So getting welded up and machined for the Jesel .905 lifters. With the rotating assembly in place, the piston is out of the block, and we are decking it, so going with a thicker gasket then originally planned. Cam they want is .515/.510 lobe with 1.7 rocker. NOPE not on the street for me, too much. looking more in the .790-.830 lift range MAX.

Also update. Trans is going to be a 4 speed Lenco. MUCH easier on the street and WILL NOT BREAK. Was out in buddy Willy's last week with one, and man is that thing fun with the Lenco over my Liberty in my other car.
