Very nice, Ron...do they have any type of criteria for show cars for Autorama by you?

haha i would take them out the bottom just to change cams. very easy.
if i had a hoist i would probably drop it to change spark plugs

my second time out the bottom, learnd a lesson, never be cool and try hide the wires from the top, what a ***** getting them unhooked and out for the electrical, never do that agian.

Never realized it was that easy getting it out the bottom. Thats something to think about.

awesome man cant wait to see it back in. but out the bottom?????? lol. pull that shit out the top unless you have plans for the front suspension also tehe. lol

Out the bottom is the only way to do it.

well, got the motor apart and found out today that it was 1 to 2 starts from clatter effect, 5 valves almost droped, the spring retainers clips were pushing thrue the spring retainers, basicly it pops thrue and spring shoots up and valve drops into cylinder, kapow, so even tho bearings dont look bad we are going new rings bearings seals valves redone, and reasimble, dont have alot of time left, it going to be in autorama this year with all the new mods at cobo, first time for it.
