67 cuda FB progress UPDATE
Body is looking fantastic!
A short update to share.
My engine was supposed to be installed by now and pictures shown, but after all my changes and adjustments. I don't like the way it runs.
I am going to put a smaller cam and lifters in it.
I thought I liked the heavy rumble and the extra horses but I did a last run on the stand two days ago and I cant get it to idle lower than 2000 RPM's. The cam is just to big and I can't get it to come down and still keep running. It lopes so heavy, it sounds like a Gasser.
I want a nice cruzer with some spunk but I can't get that with the cam I'm running. The duration is crazy!! What was I thinking? If I remember right the duration is 530.
So, I decided NOT to install the engine from the bottom, but instead go ahead and install the K-member and suspension to make it a roller again so I can get it out of the paint booth as I need to get other items painted up and ready to install. Such as the front skirt, trunk hinges, interior trim and the dash.
I'll post pictures soon as I get them off my phone. I'm back at it tomorrow to torque everything to spec's and maybe roll her in the sun and get a few shots in real lighting.
That is if the rain holds off long enough....:oops:
