Looking good, Sir. I'm hoping my secondary Cruise Night car comes out this good.

Well I had to move the AC compressor up higher for the factory hose set up to work only to find out the hose won't bent the way it is supposed to without kinking so I decided since I already have everything to make my own AC hoses I would just buy an adapter for the compressor and currently doing mock ups.
Since this is my budget build I decided to give these a try.

Did you get them check out by a machine shop before putting on motor? Did they seem like decent quality heads? Any issues with them ?
Yup, I had my machine shop check them out everything was within spec, the Erson-PBM competition valves look nice and I like that the springs, retainers, 10 degree locks and Viton seals are all Comp Cams parts.

Well, slowly getting everything together. I finished making the AC hoses, heater hoses and fuel line and have most of the rewiring done
The 355 is running, I still have to do some tuning and decide if I am keeping the modified factory duals or to install the Jegs kit.
Here is the exhaust set up I am running for the time being, my stainless Ebay headers to a Summit X-pipe and the rest of the exhaust is factory 2.25" replacement for a 86' 442 and I used part of the intermediate pipe to transition to the mufflers since they are at an odd angle.
I still have to pull that rusty *ss driveshaft out and clean it up.

I also just cleaned up and painted the inside of my hood so I can get that on.
And it clears this air cleaner set up by at least an inch looking in from the back of the scoop, I will know exactly how much later once it is installed.
