With my driveline and traction I always figured I'd walk it off the line and see what MPH I could get.
But that'll never happen, I don't like people or waiting in line....

That's what I did. Factory 8.8 axles and 83 driveshaft with slicks. Hadn't been to the track in years. Sat at the line idling and left just hard enough to not stall, then WOT. Ran 125mph but only 11.7, should've been in the 10's but with no launch.
I don't care for most people either, you seem alright 😆🤣

Its been 30 years since we raced at Lancaster. Back then if you wanted water in the burnout box you had to bring your own.

It has changed hands a lot since then. I think they fixed that massive bump at the end of the lanes right after you got on the brakes that made a lot of people not want to come back
 
Rocker studs look a little goofy. They aren't torqued yet but I don't expect them to straighten out 🤷‍♂️


 
They almost look like they are not all inline with each other. I wouldn't sweat it. But those locks, toss them, they aren't machined locks. I don't do SBF stuff, looks like a lot of valve stem out of the retainer, almost like -.050 locks. Not that it matters one bit. Give us a good picture of the locks you removed so we can see the tang inside.
 
Just from occasionally checking in here, I'm not sure if this is a real engine build or someone pretending to build an engine.

I don't know where you live but it would not hurt to have another set of eyes while you are assembling the engine.
Or is this is all a game?

If I asked as many questions that you do to an escort , I'd never get laid!

Best of luck

You caught me. It's all fake. I don't even have a car, which is why I fit in on this forum

He’s doing better than his previous two professional engine builders. It’s like rooting for Rocky after he’s got his ass kicked for 12 rounds. 😄
 
Be glad I'm keeping it in one thread. I got yelled at for posting multiple threads and accused of seeking attention.

Now when I need to verify the answer to a question I previously had it's a 66 page 1300 post cluster fuck to find it.

You're welcome.
 
What's this new tool I need to buy to hold air in the cylinders to change locks while the heads are on?
