280zwitha383 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Sweet. Hope you put some better springs on those heads. Good luck. Are you planning to put afterarket heads on it later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8_DatZun Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 ah forgot to post that... .550 lift h-11 tool springs w/ 1.6 stock style rockers. thanks for asking. and yes... im eventually going to put some of the RHS heads on.. an engine builder i know is really into them and says they are pretty good... so ill probably save up and buy an aluminum pair.

jimlickster Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Looks good, but isn't it a Chevy? Looks like you got it painted FORD blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimlickster Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I figured the Bit about your Engine being FORD blue might Illicit a Response. Just picking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8_DatZun Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 dont tell anyone.. but in its 350 form it WAS ford blue.. hah now though royal blue. that pic had a little too much flash.. made it look lighter than it is... actually a dark nice looking blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
