I know your engine man and I know that will make some mean power. A great family affair you got going on Steve. I have a 30 year old unmarried son who can drive a stick and I bet he would be a good instructor. </div></div>

I didn't realize how much I missed bringing these cars back to life. I appreciate your offer and knowing you, your sons a fine young man, but I've go through the vetting process with her boyfriends and this one is going to stick around a while.

I have that real low mileage white rs/ss L48 auto that I'm going to let her use sparingly. I hope motivates her. Also I think her brother is going to teach her to ride one of his dirt bikes. She's a teacher and &quot;knows everything&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I'm just about ready to start the car, but I'm waiting for the header collectors to arrive and then finish the exhaust. I just hope it doesn't snow anytime soon.

I may look for a set of cragars which is what was on the car when I originally purchased it back in the 70's.

I have a question; when I had the engine rebuilt I installed stock 186 heads. The heads the previous owner (Texas) installed were angle plug heads because it overheated and cracked the valve seats. Anyway my question is what is the value of chevy angle head phase 2 heads # 14011034. I believe they were purchase in 1985, and have about 10K miles on them.

is that the updated GM number for the 292's or the 492 turbo heads?

I think I had 492s on my Z prior to my top end build. At the time, a very desirable over the counter go fast item I believe.
