Can't believe it's been 8 months since I've had an update to report. We've built a new shop and haven't had any time to work on the car for awhile.
After we get moved in over the next couple of weeks, I hope to get back to work on it.
The Lee Shepherd L88 heads are toast. After we ran the engine back in Oct. 2013, we discovered a couple of old repairs had cracked after we were finished.
Some time ago we finally got around to repairing them and ran it again a few weeks ago. Again, after we were finshed, two different spots cracked. After deciding to stop throwing good money after bad, we found a virgin set of LS6 rectangle port heads and have since installed those and ran it a third time.
Final numbers were 562 h.p. and 484 ft lbs.
Will pick up the engine this week and hopefully get it in after we open up the new shop location.
