H.O. swap about to commence

The machine shop gave me a call the other day to let me know that my engine is ready. Now I just got to find the spare time to get it swapped in.

Sorry for leaving you guys dangling. It's going to be a stock H.O. 5.0 with some porting and polishing to the E7 heads. I've got some Flowtech shorty headers. I'm going to have x pipe duals run with American Thunder cat backs. I'm going to be running stock 19lb injectors. I have already replaced the fuel pump with a BBK high volume 150lph pump. I'm also going to try using some of those new E3 spark plugs (don't know if any of you guys have tried those yet). I'll try to get some pics this week but it may be next weekend before I'm able to get around to doing the swap.

i'm using them in my 306.. i've heard a lot of good things about them.. supposedly, they perform better than most plugs with an upgraded ignition setup and MSD's

All right I'm back from my buddy's house and it was slow going. We spent about four hours on it. I thought that we would be a little further along. We had some trouble spots where we couldn't reach certain bolt or they would be seized up. But I guess these are things to be expected.

Yea. it's amazing how a couple stubborn bolts will halt progress. I pretty much cut my motors out of the cars because of rusted bolts..
