    the motor is out an tore down and expecting it back tomorrow along with the rest of the rebuild kit. i have a roller motor but im going with hydrolic because this is on a budget. im getting a new cam with the stock heads and flat top pistons. the block had to be bored .030 and the crank was turned. i should have all this back tomorrow and will be putting it back together, im also having the holley 600 rebuilt and will have it back thursday. by that time if weather allows the motor should be in the car ready to go.
