Yeah dude, long time no talk. Have you seen it since I did the rocker panels and flares?

 

Yea thats about right i think. havent dont much on this thing since.

 

PAC 1518s came in last week, still waiting on the cam and pushrods...

 

your going to want to put some LT headers on there too..

 

For sure. LTs are definitely a part of the plan, but probably not for another year or so. Just can't afford it right now.

 

Did the valve springs a couple weeks ago, and the cam this past weekend.









PAC 1518s on the left.


Old springs.


Ooh, pretty.




Cam install:

Timing cover off


Cam gear off, cam retainer plate visible


Old cam halfway out


Old cam


Old cam in the background, new up front


And... Then I forgot to keep taking pictures.

The pushrods are in, rockers torqued back down, harmonic balancer installed, and I threw the coils back on.

HUGE thanks to Billy (BudHayes3) for letting me borrow the balancer puller, Crane valve spring compressor, and the JPR tools. Saved my ***.

I also ordered the FLT Level 5 this afternoon.

 

Lookin good man... what are the cam specs?

 

216/224 .561/.568 114

 

That's going to be slow as hell! I'd put a bigger cam in my 5.3! JFWY. I hope to be in your shoes here shortly.

 

is that REALLY bedliner on the rockers?
