oh hey, I called around. To install the valves and do a valve job on those heads, 50-200 bucks depending on if I supply the valves or not

Nice. 3 angle valve job suggested on RB engine?

yeah. The one shop that I know is very good said that he's done those edlebrock heads that come bare like that about 2-3 times a month for various brands, usually not much if any machine work needed but he polishes everything up to spec and such.
 
Some engines don't respond well to 3 angle valve grinds. Swirls the exhaust poorly.....

cool part is, with the cost of the heads via you, stainless steel valves, titanium locks from Mahle, and the head work, I'll be in the heads for about the same if I'd buy them off the shelf complete but with upgraded and higher quality parts!

um... then i wont tell you about the very nice driver 64 sport fury, 383 4 speed in blue I found for same for 23,000...
 
Would have to be Red with white top and the ultra cool red/white sport fury interior. Engine no matter, base 383 is ok. Auto preferred.
 
Parts ordered,2:00 delivery. 2 3 hour jobs to get done by 6:00.
Cant tear either one apart until the next appointnent is done.
Will hopefully have one ready for parts to go in before parts show up.
Just my luck,something wont show up and both jobs will be held up. It happens....

Yeah, my jeep can fit thru it but anything else, booed but after cutting a path 10 feet wide by 700 feet long, I kind of ran of motivation for that weekend

So I send a load of concrete to a very rural area. It was a short load so I send it on a 6x6 mixer. Driver is familiar with the area also and questions me about it. I had questioned the customer about access when the order was placed, "Do we need to have a concrete pump? Can the mixer drive right to it?". Mixer gets to the site and the 2 way radio goes berserk with a concerned mixer driver. Customer spends the next 30 minutes in a skip loader bucket with a chain saw making overhead clearance for the mixer. Mixer has to use "low low" and 6x to back up to the site. Mixer returns to the yard. "Bill, you better go look at your loading hopper before your next load". Since the mixer was empty when it left the site it was about 6" taller and had collected a moderately sized oak branch on the way out. :rofl:It managed to get all the way back to the yard like that. Bill had to get help to remove the hitch hiking foliage. :rofl:Bill tells me he talked to the customer before the initial attempt, customer says, "I drive my jeep up there all the time" :rofl:

Tough job Driving a cement truck for sure. Maybe only swinging meat is tougher to deliver . IMO as a former truck driver...
