Well, hurry up and get the cruiser picked up, and built. I could use a trip to Virginia Beach to go get it.

I heard from Shawn yesterday. They should be up between 10-11:00am on Sunday if anyone wants to stop by to meet them or say hello.
Coffee and donuts will be served. |

The wifes birthday is Sunday. Otherwise, I'd be down for the coffee.
Too bad they aren't picking it up on Saturday.

Just got off the phone with Ed. He thinks the pistons came in and is going to get Shawn to post some pics.

I decided while we're doing this to install an Edelbrock 2 piece timing cover. It allows cam changes without dropping the steering rack and greatly simplifies the process. A friend of mine on the west coast ended up with 2 of them so he made me a great deal on one. I just got it today. It's brand new in the box. With the 4.125 bore I can run any heads if I choose - including LS7 heads. I may just want to run a different cam with the L92's on the 427 - who knows.
I'll try to get some pics up in the morning. |

Helped a friend earlier this year with a h/c job. He bought a QTP 2pc timing cover, and although it was a really nice machined billet piece, I still cannot see doing a cam swap with just the top half of the cover off.
As you can see, it's impossible to see the crank sprocket (dot) with the lower half of the cover in place. I guess you could match-mark the chain to the cam sprocket prior to removal, and somehow prop up the chain to insure it never leaves the crank sprocket during the swap...but that still seems awfully risky to me. Just verifying dot-to-dot is a procedure that should be double/triple checked...I can't imagine doing it blind with no means of verification. And speaking of verification, degreeing the new cam becomes another challenge with the balancer already in place. Neat idea, but in practice I don't see a 2pc timing cover greatly simplifying the process at all. |

You make it sound so easy. (btw, the above pictured is a Cloyes hexajust set with IRL chain).
Now, if I may ask, what do you fasten the degree wheel to? Remember, the balancer will still be there, bolted up tight. Normally, I could see the possibility of making some sort of spacer setup to locate the degree wheel outboard of the balancer, but that would still require removing the bolt, which isn't possible with the rack in place. |
