    Dropped the gas tank, fuel lines off.. Half the exhaust started to grind to find where my best metal was... Will be cutting out the driver side floor tomorrow after work... Scary!

    Btw I'm so excited the inside of my gas tank looks brand new.

    just finished paying the machine shop the last $800 I owed them for my 347 stroker kit
    BUT before leaving I went ahead and upgraded some more to push over the 500hp mark. I ordered a lunati voodoo cam 1.7 roller rockers head gaskets with the metal retainer in the gasket. ARP head bolts a main carriage kit and more ARP bolts for that then ordered push rods and a forged crank and h style connecting rods
    we havent done all of the math just yet on the cam and push rod length but i ended up spending another like $1100 in parts :yikes:

    now I just need to not tell the wife :shhh: :biglaugh:

    Im not real sure when Ill have everything paid off but Im steadily chipping away at it. cant wait to get it all together and :chirp::character0182:
