Speed bump #2 was broken tap while drilling the heads for the LA bolt pattern. Got it out though so all good.

So other projects getting in the way. But got the heads finished up and on the short block. Still need to pull the idler pully mount off the one head but it made putting the head on way easier.
 
Got the rocker arms in and torqued as well as cleaned up the underside and mateing surfaces on the first intake manifold set to grace this engine.
Intake 1 is the stock 2V intake with testing on the stock and holley 500cfm carbs
Intake 2 is a 340 cast iron 4V
Intake 3 is a keggar intake
Intake 4 (maybe) modified intake for boost, or the tunnel ram.

#3 A kegger is a dry intake used with fuel injection. What's your plan?
 
So what do you do when they tell you you that you have covid but only acts like alergies. I pulled the 318 out of the swinger. Will see about stabbing the 360 magnum tomorrow.

Last week we were in Livingston waiting on my wife, and I spot a 73 Swinger sitting in a group of old stuff next to a tractor co. So I wander over and take a peek. Slant, pretty solid except the vinyl top area. Well I an stick my hand thru couple places. I have to check it out. The business owner owns it and had a 340 Duster back decades ago. Guess he wants to create his old ride... sorta!!
 
COVID can be anything... meaning we all have some form of it in our system so we all test positive half the time...
