My first muscle car build thread (lots of pics)

Bought 2 more cans of brake cleaner and a can of lube today. $14.64

new total: 440.84

I was talking to a mopar guru the other day and I was told as long as the valves don't float i can rev this thing up to 6300-6500 rpm. That would be pretty fun. The old wore out engine I was running up to 6000 so i think its possible.

Just to recap here I am going with a stock short block, 360 heads with small valves, 340 cam, torker 340 intake, 600 cfm carb, and headers with an x pipe 2 1/2" pipe to the bumper.

i noticed today someone had just barely started gasket matching the torker 340, should I just gasket match it and do a light port on the heads?

I think pretty much everything is clean now. except the heads. Almost time for reassembly now.
