So I like having a three day weekend. I was able to spend some time on the impala, as well as picking up my engine from the builder (just taking it apart and looking at it). So here is what I got done this weekend.
First on Friday I got four boxes of parts from a fellow member here. I received a box of Ross pistons with a 10.5:1 ratio, a Offie intake and two edelbrock carbs w/ air cleaners, a five blade fan, and a water pump.
On Saturday I picked up some por15 and painted the rear housing and rear drums. Installed the rear control arms both upper and lower.
Today I picked up the engine from the builder that I was going to use, however I did find out that that he is closing up shop, sigh. but the block was just being checked out and all in all it is in good shape. It will need to be bored it has a little rust scarring in a couple of the cylinder holes.
The bad news of the weekend is that I may not be able to use my 333 truck heads, they have a bad valve seat job some are almost 1/32 high above and the builder recommended that I try to find another pair ohh well I was only $200 into those heads.
All in all it was a good weekend
