A last look before she goes to the machine shop. I think the green looks way better Call me an idiot but i just realized that the banks are offset ..Ive never noticed this before.😅
Ok so i decided to forgo the machine shop.. I got this in the mail today, lisle cam bearing tool. Also there was a baby on my front porch in a basket..we decided to keep him.
The banks are offset because of how the rods connect to the crank, one is in front of the other so the banks are offset basically the amount of the rod bearing width
Great job on the build. You may want to put some 4.10 or 4.56 gears in it to help wake it up off the line as 1at gear is really tall. Especially if you get bigger tires.

Thanks! It has 4.10 gears..im thinking of gping 4-6 inches of lift with 33's. I dont want to.over do it with 35s and ruin my gearing.
I have done it! Haha! I got the cam bearings installed. After a dismal failure with ch25 that according to durabond will fit. Texas Speed informed me that they do not. Went with ch23 and they went in like butter..well maybe not like butter but more like margirine thats been in the freezer...it pays to have the right tool for the job. A sidw note for anyone attempting this, the #4 and #5 go in from the back..the housing is tapered in the oppisite direction. Notice the taper on 4 facing rearward..if you look at 3 the taper is not there..its facing foward
bores are deglazed via flexhone wich i highly recommend. Now once i double check all the clearances i can assemble and install! Cant wait!
I Got my cam in the other day also. Kudos to ls1tech. I put out a wtb ad for a elgin 216/220 not really expecting anyone to have one, lo and behold i got a pm the next day! Picked it up for $207 shipped. Looks brand new almost.
Picked this up for ...no ****..$150..138k on it. Im gonna flip it to help pay for other goodies..mechanically its awesome just gotta get a window regulator and a wiper motor.probably hit it with some touch up paint too..drove it for about 50 miles and i gotta say these buicks ride great
