I wish, the little 580ish pump gas 383 that I will build would only be good enough as a starter for them. It will however be alot cheaper and easy to live with just, don't tell anyone it's a chevy ok
I wish it was mine as well. As it is from what started out as a basic overhaul of the engine has turned out to be much more than originally planned. The best part about a chev is the price of parts, plus it doesn't take much of a brain to slap one together, lol. As I've always said, imagine if the Cleveland got the years of R&D and different parts suppliers the Chevy's have had, the mind boggles. How'd you go with what we were speaking about the other day?
That really is some beautiful machine work there and may be in the same boat as you and use them for machine work. As I said to you mate, I'll ask one question about their machining and if they can't give me answer I want, then I'll keep looking, but I suspect they'll know what I'm after. Unfortunately all the good machine shops I knew of are now closed (like I did) as there where just too many shops competing and people expecting you to do high quality workmanship for the crap shops prices, or the remaining ones prices are so stupid to even contemplate, like we were talking about the piston machining, just about cheaper to buy new Pistons then to pay what they want to charge to do some piston machine work.
BTW not bad numbers from a N/A engine, better stop looking at these pics, the mind is ticking and don't want to end up in divorce court, lol
