    Hey husky T,

    Pm me and i will give you my specs.

    Measure your bore so i can give you the dia. to end the taper and do you know what your squish clearance via solder compression?

    I had to take off .045 to get my squish at .045 which seems to be optimal.
    How is you resto going?
    I have been way too busy building my machine shop to do anything to my 430.
    Cant wait for Oct. and cool weather to return.

    One brick coming up!

    PM me your address :)

    Seriously, that is a clean looking setup. I think I might buy another head and send it to him. Which popoff did you use?
    Thanks,

    I used T.P. Engineering decompression valve.

    Looked at all of them and this one looks to be very high quality workmanship and materials.

    Did you want me to send your brick to racers machine? I figured I would send them a head and some money. I could just send it to Yucca Valley but I don't have that much faith in the postal service. Now if you sent me something with just a Grand Coulee address the postmaster would know how to get it to me. Small town benefits.

    Rear shocks get a make over

    Springs are going to be powdercoated with a silver base coat and then a blue candy over that.

    Should look really clean with the rustoleum gold metallic shock bodies with rustoleum clear laquer.

    The nice part about this new Rustoleum paint is that you don`t have to use any primer,i just taped off the shock bodies and put them in my bead blaster.not a bad finish for a rattle.
