Thought I would update everyone on the progress of our project. We are still gathering up the rest of the rebuild parts as budget allows, we are VERY close. Need rod bearings, rings, cam bearings and a few misc. gaskets and I think we are set. Going to have my friend install guides in the heads for us. I showed the kids how to knurl and some of the students even did one of the heads but he offered to do our guides so I think I'll have them done. Found a couple local sources here for the generator and bracket, crank pulley and exhasut manifolds, hopefully he has what we need. Also looking for 3 strom. 97's or holley 94's for our edelbrock intake (I know I should have bought all the hard parts we needed first before the flash but I had a moment of weakness ) Have our lifters boxed up and ready to ship to Oregon Cam Grinding to get a fresh set.

Couple ??? - What clearances do I check on our oil pump to see if it is useable or not? What is the verdict on balancing a y-block (may be able to talk my friend who is doing the heads into balancing it as well. All in all things are going great, thanks again to all who have helped and donated - this project would never had happened if not for your help!! I do have one extra set of T-Bird valve cover stickers of anyone wants them, thanks!
