Piston and rod set up
Getting started on the pistons and rods, its takin about 1/2 hr for each one, the spring clips are a pain. Whats the trick to putting the spring clips in?Last edited by stinkydidit; 08-02-2011 at 02:19 PM.

Looking good. Remember there is no hurry when it comes to what your doin.
Lock tight, anti seize, sealer, break end fluid. Take your time.

Had a 77 GP hopped up 350, miss that car.The wife has me on a diet patch, but I don't think its work'in, she said you have that thing on right? said, ya, on my arm.

I did a lot of research too. Hate to put something together and wonder what went wrong. Did this one around 3000 miles ago. Not a problem anywhere....just like it should be. Your car looks like it's gonna be hot.
Did you decide on a color for it?
