alucards-pet-werewolf asked: i just straight up traded a 68 squareback for a 61 single cab its a BIG project but the single cabs doors and gates have all the old writing on it and its sooooo sweet.

Nice. Singles are the way to go man. Harder to fine but sweet when setup right.

kittoni asked: you found me everywhere!!

When you put it that way it kinda sounds creepy…

*

Cylinders and pistons are ok. Need new rings. Everything is looking pretty good. I was running a little rich but the new heads and valvetrain combo should even everything out.

*

Engine split and cleaned. Going the the machinest today. They’ll check the barrings and press off my cam gear to prep for reinstallation of straight cut gears. Should be putting it back together by Saturday!

*

Wow! I forgot to update you. New parts bought. Engle fk7 staight cut cam gears. 1.4:1 ratio rockers on order. 044 magnum heads getting picked up today. Part#1442 on the CB website.

So once again its been too long since I’ve posted anything. Got some pics coming soon.

Cam went flat in the Ghia so I’ll be doing an engine rebuild series once i get the cash together for parts. Taking the chance to UPGRADE! Be back up soon.
