Got the crank back looks good from what it was Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Looks pretty good to me and he just called to say the block is ready to pick up after hot tank and rust dip and the crank is ready too Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

They are a lot better than what they were,he used a round stone cutting type thing with a 11/32 fitting that slides into head where the valve goes ,or pay $600 to set it up on the valve seat cutting machine arr no thanks this will be fine for a stock engine Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Actually 472 I forgot to mention after he checked the block it was already 030 over,so it's Gunnar get a 060 bore which these blocks handle fine ,some even bore them to 4.500,but 060 over is 4.420. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

I got the heads back and they look ok I also gave em 3 coats of ford dark blue and tomorrow if the valve stem seals arrive we can assemble them Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

They have upped their quality on alloys from recent u tube vids from independent head places Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

I found a cheap new old stock plain 460 sump in Brisbane for $100 and gave it a clean and light coat of ford dark blue,ahh need another can or 2 for block and heads. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Ahh ok thanks bear Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Did a quick check with no spring and no retainer but still the same,they seem to fit up normal to the head just that gap or maybe need a retainer to suit those locks ? Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Hey why does there seem to be a bit more tiny gap on the locks ? Or is that the way single valve locks are ? I'm using std clevo spring and retainer as I thought the 460 uses the same ? For std factory set up Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

My new std valve set came and cam bearings and plug set.yep the valves fit but the inserts are borderline and should be ok for a stocker,I will get the machine shop just to have a quick look at them before final assembly like maybe he can put some new guides in there or something Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Doing a lot of research on the 429 cj/scj and they are a very rare engine these days ,as prices for these original factory parts are crazy even in the USA,heads are near non existence to buy I guess that's why so many just build a 460 with spruced up 460 heads so I had another look at my 73 heads and turns out they are the last of the decent ones to play with at 91 cc chamber anything after these are 97cc and if you can find early castings they have even smaller 70 odd cc size these are starting to look good my new valves should lob up next week.

With border set in this afo I wanted to get a glimpse of the emissions sticker somebody had painted over and seems correct 74 or 74 engine Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Never seen a multi layer intake b4 ? But who cares it was cheap a new 460 tray is very expensive Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Let's have a look at these heads they look pretty good to me I have seen a lot worse.also scored a steel tray new off Facebook for less than half price Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

I got the manifold heads back from sandblasting and they look good I even had time to paint the manifold ford dark blue Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Interesting 145LBS head bolts Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Ok the 1968 to 1987 crank uses the sleeve and is internally balanced,1988 to 2003 uses a counter weight and is externally balanced ,see the long snout and 2 key holes,also got some long brushes for cleaning oil galleries and valve guides ect . Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

I cleaned up the D3VE heads ,ready for blasting tomorrow,manifold too Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Ok I think the sleeve is used with internaly balanced crank and the small counterweight is used with externally. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk
