66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?
I got my ported iron heads (974 casting, 1975-76 stock 360) home last night. User @trebor75 spent 50 hours on them and I was lucky enough to pick them up and get a set of brand new exhaust valves included in the deal.
A brief examination revealed - as advertised - a couple of exhaust valve guides that need replacing. I'm not sure how that works but I guess they're press fit? Or are they shrink fit? Anyone?
Since these don't need to be finished any time soon, I'm considering putting 2.02 intake valves in but that will depend on cost. I wouldn't know where to turn to get that done, either, except a normal mechanical shop. I have no idea whether there are any shops with american iron experience around here. I'll ask around, of course, but for now, I'll be focusing on doing some finishing touches, perhaps, and look into those valve guides.
I'm really happy to have them, Trebor, thanks, and good luck with your Edelbrock setup!
Here are some pics I took before packing them into my little carry-on suitcase that actually survived being dragged across Stockholm Central and the walk home from the local train station with a 100 pound load.
