Well, no new pictures but I finished the headers and got the car out on the road a couple of weeks ago...
It ran very well and the car drove much better with the extra weight in the nose so I was very happy with that.
It did smoke a lot on restarts and was very low on power,felt pretty good until about 3500 rpm and then fell on it's face
So this little shakedown run was informative, I then pulled the 09 back out and tore it down.
Found it had the really low compression pistons in it and it's a truck block, overall it's in really good shape.
Less than .001 taper in the cylinders.
I have order piston's,cam and Intake from Aubrey, Aluminum heads from Bob Walla and the rest from Summit.
It's going to be standard bore 4 inch stroke so a 468 10:1 compression.
Should be on the road February ?
Found a picture of the teardown.
