I'd like to set aside for a moment my seething jealousy at your ability to score free, useful **** at the drop of a hat and thank you for documenting all this. Really inspiring and useful. I've been subscribed for over a year now, and this thread is akways a good shot in the arm.

Loved the time lapse. Aside from the tremendous work - !!! - it was impossible not to note the size of the garage this was created in, and the pre-work done organizing things. Kind of a "duh", but it's easy to forget and start bitching about the lack of space when you're tripping over sheets...

Amen. Keep the updates coming, love this thread.

That'll be night and day. Interested to see how it performs on something that big. Can't wait to see it.

If the Spartanette is on drugs, what the hell is the truck on!!! :beer: Thanks for cleaning this up and posting here. Did you ever settle on whether you were going to keep the IDI?

Muchas gracias! :thumbup: - NoobBoob

Did you use anything other than that wire brush on the valve cover? You put anything on it afterward? Looks great.

Saucy. Will the bottom end support that, or do you have some upgrades inside? The below (aka "The Avocado") is getting a 390 rebuild, currently deciding where to go with it.

Long time lurker here. Lot's of great threads on this board, but this one inspired me to get OFF my lazy **** and OUT into the garage to clean up, reorganize, and mainly tear into my decrepit 390 and get going on my first full engine build. Thanks e-tek!
