Still playing with notchbacks

Hope to have the front lexan installed along with the shift coupler this weekend.

If it ever stops raining/snowing, I will get back on it.

As soon as my wife gets home, we will set the roof on the pink car for an idea if we want to move forward.

Well, after a major step back from damage on one of the new heads, I am finally moving forward again on the Roach.

Last night, the case savers, mil spec headstuds, pistons, barrels, heads, exhaust and manifolds were all installed. I like where it is. Now to tear it all back down and clean evreything again! But, it will work! The fk-8 cam, the Comp Eliminator heads, the 11.7:1 compression, the 1.5 rockers, the dry sump, the 1 3/4 header... all happy sharing the same space!

The only new parts on this engine are the bearings and the oil pump. And, the intake manifolds if I keep it n/a for a time.
