I know its been awhile since my last update, but I ran into a couple snags. I already got the longer billet lifters in, but I realized with this cams extra lift, I now only had about .002 till coil bind!:doah: I have apretty good selection of different performance valve springs for flat heads, but it didn't matter, none of them got me anywhere near enough clearance. So, once again I found myself spending more money. ($50) on a special cutting tool for machining valve spring seat area. I've always wanted one, but never really had a legitimate need. As soon as it gets here, the build will move forward. In the meantime I did pic up a frame for this engine. Its an old Sears Roper, and its UUUUUGLY!!! However, its sill solid, with only surface rust. I had several different style headers laying around that I could have used on this engine, but none of them fit this frame, so I ended up steeling the ceramic coated one off of my Raptor Clone, as it fit quite well.:thumbsup: Anyway, here are a couple pics of the engine on the frame I picked up. I'll get the frame sandblasted soon, so I can put some paint on it.
