Hey all,
I've been working for over a year now and it's getting there, still plenty of work to do. But If I go back to the beginning, I started with this awful rusty lump of American Iron I found in someone's back yard!

Don't worry, I know I can bring it back to life because even though I have no experience rebuilding engines, I do have an undeserved amount of confidence!
Valves looked great!

Other than some substantial rust/ gunk build up, the heads were, not ok, but not not ok.

I cleaned em up with a sandblaster after plugging up the valve guides. (Which looked pretty good considering)
Then I set about porting and polishing them, Something else I have no experience doing!

They ended up looking pretty good, I guess? I think they did but what do I know?

Well, there's a lot more to it, and feel free to skip ahead by watching the video
