Small update: The warranty speed master heads came in, I dropped them off at ar1 performance engines to have them gone over. This guy is awesome. He said this is the first mopar speedmaster heads hes gone through. He has done a ton of Chevy and ford speedmaster heads already so he already knows what to look for where speedmaster lacks on what they use. Hopefully it won't be to bad on what he finds. The engine is out finally, it's been brutal on the tempature here in arkansas, yesterday the heat finally took a break and we finally had a mid 80s temp. Perfect time to pull the engine. Parts are starting to show up, still waiting on my order from Mancini that has my timing chain set and other parts. Went ahead and got a new timing cover and new water pump as well just for ease of mind. The howards cam is here. I'm happy I ordered when I did because it was the last camshaft and lifter kit that I wanted on their shelf. They said if I didn't order it in time it could take months to get another one because they are waiting on more cores to grind. Either way it's starting to look up and up. It did hurt having to pull the engine after only driving the car 3 times to work. "Several other small drives also for tuning purposes". But it is what it is and I learned my lesson.
