Thanks all. I had a small grease leak. Fixed that today. Also had driveshaft cut down a inch. The yoke was to close. I added some small Dynamax Mufflers to the collectors. It's still loud but not so shrill. Going to drive it some and see what else comes up! :)

Did some sanding work today. Time to clean it up some. :) Made in the USA!

Scored a small journal 327 today. It has about .125 forged dome pistons and a set of chevy 186 heads. This should work good with my CB4 intake and solid cam. :)

Tore the 327 down this week. It's in very good shape. Standard bore, crank, all in great shape. Factory steel forged crank , rods and pistons. It's the L79 short block. It had a Lunati solid lifter cam in it. I called Lunati to id it but they couldn't find the lobe profile or didn't want to look. The numbers on the gear side are DPA2, 320, 112. The back side has D294. If anyone has a old Lunati catalog, maybe you can find it. I'm sure it's at least 30 years old.
Took the 186 heads apart and sent to machine shop to get blasted and checked for cracks. If they are good, I'll pocket port and use them. I'm sure they will need new valves and guide work.

Got the parts back from machine shop. Heads were good but, needed all new guides, valves. Block was tanked and new cam bearings installed. I cleaned all the threads today and honed the lifter bores. It's almost time to assemble it.
