C-69 gettin' Kaliforniafide.

Carb and intake seem good to go. Might be looking for a cam though. John's old drag race buddy's unpacking his trailer 5 years after a nasty accident and told me to hold on buying anything though.

Thanks for putting up the pic Chris. Looks racey huh?
 
I have 2 cams and a set of pistons as well. one of the cams is a 4/7 swap.
I would be happy to ship them to you if you wanted to have them checked out. there collecting dust over hear.
 
your just angry that I kicked you out of the Saber thread:sifone:

Watch it there buddy , I'll boot your azz to the Fountain thread.
You'll have to invest a few grand in gold chains, and a beak extension.:biggrinjester:
 
Proof Sean's Saturday dirtywork ala his infamous camera phone...

I just woke up from a nap, so, a little groggy, but the transom kinda looks like an elephant-head.
The lack of exhaust looks like eyes, the drive assy looks like a trunk, and the tabs look like tusks.

No, I haven't been smoking anything, or taking anything.
Just waking up still.
 
OK so here's some pictures to give us our starting point and show a little progress from the weekend...

Keep in mind that this boat was towed 3000 miles without a cover when you look at the bilge. It started cleaning up with very minimal effort.

And Chris, I wouldn't normally show the "dirty" pics, but it makes it look like I got more accomplished! :D

Basically I cleaned the floor by standing on those west marine oil eater towels while I was unbolting stuff... Hahaha.

Thanks Tom! I'm going to see what Howard has kicking around local then I'll give you a shout! You're the man! :26:
 
Looks like Valley Head Service is going to save the complete rotating assy and block. That's really good news since two weeks ago, it looked like I was making a really cool coffee table! So I think I'm just going to need a cam and some valvetrain stuff. Man, what a load off my mind... :sifone:
 
And if any of you guys were into drag racing in the '70s, that is THE Valley Head Service. Kinda geeked about having those guys mess with the motor from a historical standpoint. Kittycat John's funny, he used to work there and is totally nonplussed by the whole thing. :D

I just wish I had more time to clean it (and the "cover-alive") for you.
