The topless adventures of Cuda Al

Once again back to the engine. By now I have all the parts back from the machine shop and have acquired everything else that I should need. Overall the build went smooth.
It is for the most part a stock build, not going to cover in detail.

First up was to clean all the oil passages with long bristle brushes, WD40 & Brake Clean.

Needed an undersize timing chain.

I was able to locate a good 340 valve cover but the wire tabs needed to be replaced, new ones have been welded on, just need to clean these up and put them on.
