So, first things first, out with the "old".....
The original M20 Muncie.... I really didn't know it was that "dirty" under all the "components"! It's kind of embarrassing!! Now it's beginning to get real.....

So, a few of the things I was going to provide for the engine were, new AFR heads #1040, 195cc, 65cc chambers with angle plugs, new Doug's headers #D323B (this is before I had them coated), the existing Comp stainless roller rockers, the existing MSD distributor, the existing Holley 750 double pumper carb and other miscellaneous parts.

I decided too not reinstall the smog pump this time around but thought I would have the alternator refurbished by Ken Bruno.
Before....... And after.... He did an amazing job and it looks great!!

While the engine was out I had other things to contend with. I thought, if I was going to have 500 horsepower, I’d better refresh/upgrade a few things. I went with solid aluminum body mounts from Global West (#800) along with their tubular upper (#CT-79A) and lower (#CT79L) control arms and subframe connectors from Competition Engineering (#C3116).
