I am almost finished rebuilding my motor! I have replaced MY own valve stem seals,cleaned the carbon of the valves,and I also cleaned the valve ports as well all by my self and yes I am very excited about this. So this means my car should be up and running within the next couple of weeks. All I have do now is put the new gaskets on,put the new lifters in, replace my oil pump.

I have to thank Ed for showing me how to do it.

Ed and I are really gonna get into the motor after I get back from Tennessee. we are gonna build a 383. So this is just enough to get me there and back.

Here's a pic of my old Formula 350. It had a 355 forged TPI motor in it at that time.

dude thats sweet as hell!!! here are some pics of my car. This is what it looks like for now until next spring and summer.Next year we're gonna be busy with alot of frabicating and molding plus paint.

the car is alot cleaner now than what it was. I have new carpeting for it so it doesn't look nearly as bad as it did before. This car sat for about 2 years before anybody decided to sell it.

Ed is gonna show me some other stuff as well. I am gonna put in NGK plugs,LSD Universal plug wires, distribeuter cap. But after we get it to run we're gonna actually determine what type of cam I have in it as well. yes this is pretty exciting I think
