A kitten died when you killed the original OHC motor ..... j/k lol Beware that there is a list of dead cammers held by an ever watching Pontiac guy. haha
I have to ask a couple dumb q's. So you pulled it OUT of a shop to work on it in the yard? I looked at the pictures a few times with the tilted dog head look of htf did he get that thing up there like that and htf is it staying up?
Great project to work on but a lot has changed in the last 17 years. Keep us posted as to how it goes.
