Small Block Chevy Engine Build - Swingin' On A Shoestring...Budget

When it came time to install the rocker arms, I was unfamiliar as how to properly lash the pushrods and lifters with the roller rockers. An experienced mechanic and neighbor came to my rescue. He explained what "lash" was, and then walked me through it while I lashed the pushrods, as I read the instructions provided by Lunati.

During the removal of the old timing chain, the threads in the crank were accidentally damaged by my cheap puller. Again, a friend came to my rescue by providing me with the tools to rethread my crank.

With the new timing chain, and threading the crank out of the way, the timing cover was reused (with new seals) and put back on. This saved a few dollars in the build.

You can't use the stock-styled oil pump pick-up with this new pan, so the old one was removed and the Canton pick up went in.

It conveniently bolts right to the oil pump and had a bracket to tap it into place with a hammer.

After the intake seals and silicone are set in place...

...the polished Weiand intake bolts right on.

The Holley 600-cfm Street Performance Carb is installed.
