Picking up new lifters tomorrow

Going to require new pushrods too

So....having a lifter issue on this car requires the following:

1. New lifters....cool race car shit, built here in good 'ol Michigan by Specialty Engine Components aka Johnson Lifters.
2. New pushrods
3. Wire harness adjustments cuz I should have earlier.
4. Intake modifications - added "balancing logs" that an IAC can use to reference
5. Adding some cool newly machined brackets only seen when the hood pops...sorry Sean, you probably cant appreciate it
6. Valve cover appearance mod - not sure if it will get done before PT, but am going to try like hell. @Darren and [MENTION=2135]bigjon88[/MENTION]. Might need some powder work

Of course, most of the above was because I can't leave shit alone

Going with johnson rods too?

[bigjon88]

Done yet guy ?? Said a few weeks

More maching work....

Had to have the intake drilled out in a few places to accept these fuel rail size "logs" to help balance the runners and improve idle. Had to be fixtured and drilled the casting clear through the runner ....machine dude was sweatin a little bit Small o-ringed brass fittings make the connection between log and runners. An IAC will/can be tied to them later...

Better pics later...

[Darren]

I am sure the machine guy isnt the only one sweating...

[DRYSUMP]

ssssooooo no more HRPT....... but M&G instead, right? I mean... you kinda owe it to us all here....

[DETROITMUSCLE]

If he wanted to make do for all of us he'd have to drive it to the M&G with no trailer in tote and a trunk full of sprite and CC, heres to dreaming.

Friggin BULLETS!

PT is still on....M&G would be awesome. Cant believe Brian wont change the date

Quoting the "to-do" list for another pointless update

1. Lifters in.
2. Pushrods here tomorrow.
3. Wire harness was put on a diet....lost lots of spaghetti and sooo much cleaner.
4. Intake done.
5. New brackets will need to be anodized. Not sure how this is going to happen in two weeks, but looking local to see if it can be done in time.
6. Valve covers are headed out this afternoon. Bye-bye VSpeed! Also decided to add a -12 line to each to a puke can for adequate crankcase ventilation. Will be a pretty stealth set-up and glad to lose the pass side breather.
7. NEW addition - IAC. Cant believe this wasnt part of the intake when I bought it...though I asked...never happened. Did I already say bye-bye VSpeed

Hoping this thing gets running early next week and tuned up before we hit the trailer on the 29th. Lol, my biggest concern is there will be minimal paint damage once the blankets and towels are removed. My priorities are a little goofed up

Of course, if I dont hit the trailer on time, there's always that other event in Milford

Tick-tock, tick tock....

Brent, try McNichols Anodizing in Redford. We use them for our products at work and they do a good job. Not positive on timeline, but worth a try.

Is it wrong of me to kind of hope it doesn't hit the trailer on time then?
