Not much news yet.
My kit isn't done yet. I'm pretty much in a constant state of frenzy now  . To make matters worse, Peter from ERA called me yesterday to discuss shipping expenses, but after talking a while we realized he had mistakenly grabbed the wrong folder and called me by mistake about someone elses car! Agony
I did find out they are going to skip serial number 666, the other guys car is serial 664.
I did drop off my heads for the "352 becoming a 390" part of the project today. On Ron Golden's recommendation I took them to K&M in Raytown. Seem like nice folks and a nice facility. The heads are C4AE-G castings and I had them install CJ sized stainless valves I got off ebay and do minor pocket porting. The oversize valve job was $150 and $250 for the porting. I don't have a lot of experience but it seems like the pricing is good? Noland Cylinder head wanted $225 for the oversize valve install, I didn't get a price for pocket porting. I don't really expect them to flow like edelbrock's but they should be a bit better than stock low-risers?
I'm also busying myself with the rebuild of the 289 in my Dad's old '67 galaxie. I really don't deserve to have this much fun .
Later, Chuck
