What those retro fit roller lifters run you?

Don't remember exactly got a decent bit off of them, but they are usually like 630

steel

If I’m remembering who Summit gets them from correctly, that sounds like it’s a Milodon pan.

Bad welds have been an issue for years on their pans.

What color is that engine? Blue? Green? Aqua? Turquoise? , wait, it's Teeeel.

Thats what I was thinking it was, but didn't really look like one to me. But what the hell do I know

Finally picked up the engine from the shop!! It started life as a ZZ4 crate motor, and years ago I had forged pistons and rods added. The car got totaled but the motor was fine, and it sat for 12 years. I had it at the shop to be torn down, checked, cleaned, and upgraded. Went with AFR 195 heads and a custom Comp cam to match - this thing should make some decent power!!! Now to get the trans rebuilt...

Finally finished up the wiring for my bucket seats. I ran the power to a switch instead of manipulating the CAN-bus system to think it’s hooked to the original car.

Also went to a cars and coffee this morning. Our car season is ramping up now that it’s starting to cool off.

Painted the headers Friday before I left so that I can wrap them today after work

During the weekend I did a bunch of cleaning. I have been wanting to put my fender liners back in but they were hideous. I scrubbed them and took all the grime off. I then tried the old torch revival. I used this on black plastic trim with good results. I also took time to clean up up the 6 liter. I want to order a couple things so I can swap the short block over in place of the 5.3.
