Went by to pick up my old intake today (sold it I think.) The engine is already sleeved. He said the decks were perfectly flat, which is good. Mains were all good.
Eagle rods are there, pushrods, cam, CJ
oil pump (even though he says the old one is okay, it's not worth f'in around with the heart of the engine)
Crank went out today to get magged and checked. No phone call, so we assume that the mag went okay. (hoping anyway)
Waiting on pistons, intake. maybe heads, I didn't see them there.
He ordered new aluminum rockers (I thought we were using the old ones) Anyway it did not take much convincing. He said we are building a good motor, no point in messing around with the old rockers. He's right, but another $500. It's probably the right thing to do.
I am kind of hoping now that the parts we need all come in and I see it together again in a couple weeks.
