The simple things in life.
Man, I miss those days!

We rebuilt my college roommate’s ‘70 Cuda convertible in a driveway with just a basic tool set. Fanciest, and most complicated tool was the timing light!

You’re going to replace the water pump, right?
As well as almost everything except the block and head castings, LoL… Crank seems to be OK, but may swap that out for a Gen 3 version; a lot stronger, but want to confirm it’s a direct swap before ordering a new one.

Heads are going to a company called Headgames in NJ for a pocket port and valve job, new Raptor-specific valves, and much stronger springs so I can get more top end out of the motor.

Here’s a great video done by them and Geoff Raicer from Full Race on these heads; mine will be identical:



Also have pretty much the entirety of the Full Race catalog waiting to go on after the motor’s rebuilt. She gon’ be fast!
