The antique emblem came in ..
Did some painting on it just to see how bad the chrome will look ..



Going to paint the overdrive letters orange once the black paint cures up ..

Liking it much better than this one that I was thinking about using ..

That's going to look great once you get it finished. The "shitbox" edition gave me a chuckle.

Was thinking of having it replated ..
Now that it's painted, the chrome don't look all that bad ..

The last time I did any kind of real work on an engine was on a '74 Chevy C20 with a 350. That was 25 years ago. I put a new camshaft, lifters, push rods and rockers on it. I also switched it over from a Points and condensor distributor to an HEI distributor. That woke that pig up. Forgot to mention that I also installed a new timing chain and gears.

Been busy ...



This was a chore to do, and most likely was overkill cause it adds a few ponies at high rpm's which this motor will rarely see ..



Dialed in the cam endplay ..





I was shooting for .005" ..
Got really close to the target ..



Gear drive is setting up well ...



More checks are on the menu ..
