Pretty much not to wide, or deep. You don’t want to let the groove go outside the confines of the rocker body or you will lose your oil pressure for oiling the rocker. Th deep is an obvious problem cause you’d put a hole in the shaft. But this is what we did. I just used an angle grinder and...

Here’s our pictures from our Banana-Rama. We also popped out the end caps and ran a wire bottle brush through them. So far they seem to be working fine.

Thank you sir. Me and his mother are very proud! I hope others will read through this thread and find inspiration, drive, tenacity, and patience. After dad passed away I read the entire thread beginning to end. Man……it really was a great ride. I’m glad I took the time to document it all.

We hooked the headers up to a pair of cut outs and then hooked those into the original exhaust system we ran with the 318. We have sound clips but they’re too big to post here. It sounds great. 2.25 pipes and jegs chambered welded mufflers.

Thanks guys. It turned out really amazing. Other then picking out the front seats based on design and floor pan shape, it’s all Jason. Lol. He definitely has an eye for design!

Another project has taken place this winter. Jason had the seats reupholstered. They turned out great. And compliment the rest of the interior perfectly! Enjoy. Thanks for reading. Eric and Jason.

If the weather stays nice like it is, hopefully next month we can get it over to our buddies shop and get the exhaust connected back up. But boy oh boy does it have some crackle. LOL

That was totally the idea Bob. Lol Mission accomplished. Lol. That way when we leak in someone’s driveway we can say, “look, see, wasn’t me”. Lol

Lower, to the left, to the right, lower…lower!!!! Lol

Engine paint! Turned out sharp. Great contrast

This is more of a catch up, update. We’re not moving that fast. This has been going on for about 4 months. I’m just catching everyone up

More engine assembly pics staring Jason Lee/ Prorac2. I’m so proud of him! He assembled most of the engine himself. I just gave some occasional guidance, and fetched tools. Lol. Hey……someone has to look up torque specs. Lol. Enjoy!

Short block back from the machine shop. Ready for learning and assembly!

And Jason got one of our raggedy old “*****” carburetors cleared and rebuilt in his spare time.

More progress pics. Here’s the block at the machine shop getting machined. And while we were waiting for the short block to come back from the machine shop we used the old engine to test fit the oil pan and headers.

We’re working on it. We’re going to pick up more coolant on our way home from visiting grandmas house. It will fire today. I can promise you that. Will it run? We will see. Lol

You and kitty are the most amazing people ever. You have no idea how much your friendship has meant to us. You have always been an amazing source of information and research on our projects. We could never repay you. You guys will always be our family!

Next we found a great deal on a set of brand new performer RPM LA heads. We started formulating our plan. This engine is going to be epic!

The next chapter begins…… Well, as previously mentioned, we’re down one engine. Lol Where do we go next? For starters, we wanted a roller cam. We also wanted more cubic inches. We didn’t however, want to lose drive ability in our quest for more hp. A 360 magnum fit the bill perfectly...

Thank you so much sir

Thank you so much. We loved and learned from your build thread. It was great.

Thank you so much

Part of me wanted to end this thread. Part of me wanted to not update it and let it fall into the category of lost threads never to be heard from again. Part of me never wants to look back. But it deserves better then that. I hope that people will read this thread for years to come. I hope...

We also took Jasons car to the dragstrip. It did great. Ran about what we figured it would……Then we took out a lifter. I think it was on its way out for a while. It probably never broke in properly. But it made it home under its own power. And that’s what matters. Lol. Car ran 14.80. Stock...

Thank you so much. This car wouldn’t be possible without him.

But not all was bad in 2020. The hero of our story, Jason Lee GRADUATED!!!! Grandpa couldn’t be there, but he was there. Because we come from a small town with small class sizes we were able to have graduation, with social distancing, on the football field. Jasons mom, who acted as our late...

When grandpa passed away, we were in the middle of working on lowering and rebuilding the suspension on his pickup. The truck I learned to drive in, the truck my father and I honed our skills on. His name is Big Moe. Big Moe is a 1980 Ford F100 regular cab long box 2wd. The Cab is a 1989. The...

A lot has happened in the last year. I figured this thread was a good place to catch everyone up. Like everyone else around here, our year was a **** show as well. Lol. For starters, my father, Jasons grand father, Ed the fender mender had a mild heart attack in October of 2019. Stents were...
