Yeah, I know, needs a little more work. Not sure how long its going to last as I'm utilizing SWMBO's patio furnature!!!

Am finally on my way to upgrading my engine with a few performance goodies! I'm a ways away, but its a start.

Cloney, if you are wondering, the point of the post is I'm restoring the Holley 600 carb and after soaking it for a week in carb cleaner, spending hours studying the holley carb book, disassembling the unit, understanding how it works, and cleaning the gouk off.....I'm ready to rebuild it.

So, I thought I'd see how the new headers, 4V intake and air cleaner jive together. Next pic will be those parts installed on a REAL engine! LOL! Well, gotta go...I'm the birthday boy today, hit the big 4-0!

Are the heads on that stool ported and polished?

That patio stool will really scoot once you get it finished! Do have plans to have it dyno'ed?

For all ya guys wondering about the stool and bench dynos...I'm wonderin about them too! :: I do know the bench stool compression tests out to 200 butt lbs! Nooo, not SWMBO's!!! ::

I did get to drive my buddy's 55 Chebby tonight at the bday party. He restored it recently for his wife and did a very neat job on the body. It's really a nice ride with a muncie 4spd behind a mild 327. I do know THIS engine will give it a run for the money though....

P.S. Knightshade: The heads were ported several years back with a 40 grit belt sander followed by an 80 grit polishing treatment. As you can see, the paint is a little worn, needing a fresh coat of Ford Redwood Red!

C6fastback, yes its a HIPO sealed grain Mexican Redwood Block! No knots to leak fluids either! ::

Ok Twotoots2, I think you've slipped over the edge. Have you taken your medication today? Doesn't seem so.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Great line.

Might I point out that engines for your year mustang were not painted red ! ::

As you're building a restomod, I guess we can forgive you.

Did you bench balance it? Are the nail holes chamfered? You used shot peened nails, right? You can never be to careful with engine construction.....
