Street Freak Rambler build

[LetsFNgo]

Small update today.
Stopped at an auto supply place and talked to the guy about primer and paint and decided to use them for all of my supplies for the car. I picked up epoxy primer and am ready to get started on the bodywork. This Saturday the car gets media blasted and then the real work begins.

Spent some time when I got home working on the engine. Checked intake centerline and degreed the cam in. Ended up retarding the cam 2 degrees to put it at 108ish. The cam card calls for 110 on the centerline and I’m figuring on 1-2 degrees being added by the valvetrain and timing chain stretch.

I then installed the front timing gear cover and began getting everything ready for the oil pan. The plate on the cover is for the electric water pump I’ll eventually have to order.

Enjoy the pictures both of the work and Marty helping me on the engine and the car.

Thanks for reading. I hope everyone reading this has a great day.
