You gentlemen are quite simply just the salt of the Earth and I bow to your incredible sense of humanity to help a fellow man.

I am humbled and happy for all of you. Especially you @89 Fox 351

No other words.

That fox character is a little funny but I'd stand up any day for those other two overgrown oxen as well.
 
Kind of reminds me of when those guys offered to go help Gary that time...
But you guys actually showed up and got the job done. Much respect for that !

I just told my wife the condensed version of the car and today's story she said, and I quote
"Aw, that's so sweet! Those guys are awesome"
So that should make you feel good about yourselves 😁

Similar thing happened here. It’s pretty awesome when the wives who know nothing about it are happy for Fox and amazed at Mitch, Bangr and rats.
 
I feel like a proud grandfather sitting in the waiting room and hearing that my grandchild was born.

In all seriousness though, this is a cool story, maybe story of the year for this website. But! This is what hotrodding is all about. Way to pass it on Mitch and bangr.
 
You'd think setting valves would have been the easy part of the job today but bangr and I had to phone a friend to get them set right.

Funny enough, bangr set the valves like he normally would and it hung the valve open, no compression on that cylinder

Which is the same thing the last builder did too. Guess these Ford turds have a few tricks, but that redneck distributor shit was fun!
 
Another thanks to racecar ronnie for being on call, he set us on the path to success with distributor bushings, springs, initial and total timing.

Fuck it was a good day, and don't think for a second i don't realize i owe these guys a lot.

I'll be polishing bangrs car and mitch's bald head for years to come

What was the issue with the valves? Was 1/2 turn past zero lash too much?

No, the Chevy way to do it left the valves hung open. EOIC was too complicated for these hard headed mo fos so we went with putting each cylinder at tdc and tightening both at the same time 1/2 past zero lash
