Seriously - Damn Fine Job!!!!!

One recommendation - hate to be the one to do this but - Remove the raw water pump belt and relocate the "garden hose adapter" so it flows ito the cooler. In essence, this will bypass your raw water pump which is necessary.

What are those exhaust pipes made of?

You see, the first thing you'll want to do is raise the RPMs (Cam break-in, right?!). This will make that freshened up water pump suck its feeder hose flat. As they say, from this point on the rest could be history......."

"Joel,
Complete OH. New pisto

"Joel,
Complete OH. New pistons, rods, cams, followers,

Both Transmissions where OH as well.
I rebuilt the RW pumps, starters, alternators, carbs.
Installed new coolers, drive couplers and complete exhaust manifolds. (Changed over to Center style)."
