Yes sir! What are you looking for, specifically?
I want a 390 and a 4 speed eventually. My 70 will be the puller for the 67.

Updates? Yes.
Track? No.

I'm actually in the middle of doing a cam swap (current cam wiped a lobe, I believe, but I was planning a swap anyway as I have been underwhelmed by the Mutha Thumpr).

I will upoad some photos of the swap as I get time. Work has been pretty busy lately.

Finally decided on a cam, this custom grind hydraulic roller from Barry @ Survival (specs are 280/285 230/236 .556/.556 110):

I'll post up a few pics of the damaged cam/lifter shortly.

Here are the photos as promised. I apologize for the quality, as I took these using my phone.

Front cover and timing set removed:

One of these is not like the others:

That sucker really wore down. Barry is a good guy. I've done business with him before. He will help you with your needs like he did for me when I put the
4.25 stroker set up. Best of luck brother.

Have you put it on the dyno or taken it to the track with your current setup?

No dyno, the track yes. And I had no traction, spun the tires half the track, so I'm not worried about adding more power because it has plenty. :thup: :thup:
