Lol I think I am more concerned with the hours. I am def getting a steam genie tomorrow and cleaning my engine bay. All components are going to be black. Sand blasting the frame and having it painted as well.

But I did order all my intake pieces and two 255 walbro double pumpers.

Stock crank ftw. Still debating what to do with heads... I could shave em and raise compression, get a valve job for moar flow, new valves, seats, etc or I could just give em a bath and slap some cams in.. ?

MMR has 32 stainless steal valves for 300 bucks right now..

I have heard some mixed reviews about some of their products. But everyone raves about their prices and most bottom end components.

Thats a steal on the valves. You take 16 and ill take 16

Is your crank forged? I honestly would leat the heads alone. If I did anything it would just be new seats and possibly valves at that price.
