New 408 build finally started

During my quick Power Nap I was laying here thinking how much easier this job would be today. Number one would be the knowledge gained from the first effort. Number two would be the Killer Carbibe burs which make metal removal so much easier, number three my valve seat machine which I could probably locate and drill the pushrod holes with, number four I bought another welder so I could set it up with an aluminum spool gun. Still don’t have a mill and probably never will but that would make a nice addition if I was younger and had my sons car out of here.


Number 2 is a straight fact. I can honestly say if I had to grind heads and intakes without his burrs I wouldn’t do it. His stuff is that good to use.

Number 3 is a bonus. If I had one in the shop I’d be wearing it out.

Of course I’d rather have a mill here because it will do everything a S&G machine will do and a bunch more like surfacing.

Someday…
