i got started on my 428 today.its weird tearing into a engine that runs great and has no issues.but i have some alu heads,intake,roller rockers,and some new coated headers to go back on.i pulled the valve covers,carb,rockerarms,and intake off today.i still like unbolting the old headers and taking off the old cj heads,before i can put the new stuff back on.i have to remove a dowel pin from the top of the block on the intake mounting surface.my old pi intake has a hole for this dowel to line up in,but my new rpm intake has no hole for this dowel so i will have to remove it.

well,i got my headers and heads off. i got the dowel out with a set of vicegrips and a flat scerwdriver.i need to clean everything up in the morning and hopefully i can have it back together and running by sunday.im not as young as i used to be.i have to pace myself now.what used to be a one day job,now takes a week.yes i had to study on it for a few weeks before i decided to do it.faster is better,with a name like ROCKET,im sure you agree.
