I'm waiting on a little more feedback from one vendor, then I'll contact Butler again just to see what their lead time is on either the whole engine, bottom end or maybe just the heads. Plenty to do on the car while I wait, just want to get the injun moving forward.
Here's the list so far. RA-V 4 bolt block honed to 4.125 Forged 4" stroke crank Eagle H beam rods Ross Pistons, shooting for around 10:1 Crane or Crower Hyd Roller cam 1.65 roller rockers #48 heads CC matched with SS valves Melling oil pump Canton oil pan Misc items to be determined but I plan on staying with my dual quad intake and Carter Carbs.
Some of this is a little deep for me mainly because I no longer have a shop I'm familiar with like the old days. And race shops are very hard to get into, about like a specialist doctor, you need a referral. Before I was mixing stock parts, now I'm deep into aftermarket and using BBC rods and pistons in a Pontiac.
But if I take any of it to Butler I may swing on up to Nashville and check out your bird. Give me a ride?

I don't have time for a job, I just need the money.
