Well, I got the Boport cam, roller followers, and HLAs in. I had to shim all but 1 HLA. It was a good learning experience.
It took me about 45 minutes after I had the Crane cam, sliders, and stock HLAs out. They will go to Tony (93-331-29psi on here).
I also got to use some of the Rotunda 2.3L engine tool kit I bought off eBay 2 years ago for $35.00 shipped

Thanks to Bo for the great deal and easy directions for shimming. Thanks to Dragpak for his CH work and paint job.

Now to get the kitchen table cleaned off before the GF gets home!

Head looks good

So tell us more! Which cam did you get? Got more pics of Dragpaks' work? You are porting the manifolds too? Right?

[NavySVO]

Rick did a port and polish on it, installed bigger valves (1.89 1.59)
I installed the 1.5 Boport cam.

As for the manifolds, I haven't decided if I am going to stay with the inline or square style.

I can retire another hammer.

Well, gas tank is out and fuel lines about 50% removed. Rail mounted pump and filter are off as well.
Trying to prep it for the GW SFRs.

I wonder why I had a fuel delivery problem.....

The sock would not come out of the tank with the pump. It was hardened from 20+ years of existence.
Tank was rusted like a Titanic find. New one in the box awaits installation.
Sender is still good. Rusted a bit but still functional. I have an NOS one to install as well.
Walbro 255 is in the wings too.

I don't see the problem.. .brown gas always runs the best
