you going to be able to get away with just re ringing it?

Here are some more pictures:

I guess I could have, but I figure I might as well split the case since that bigass chunk of metal was floating around in it. The bearings had some pretty deep gashes in them too from metal particles floating around.

you gonna bump it up to 1641 while your in there?

Nah, I don't want the thin-wall cylinders. We're planning on going a little bigger in the future.

Looks fun!

When you get finished with yours, you could give me some pointers or a hand?

Sure thing! I give all the credit to Brian for coming over and showing us how to do this stuff.

you wouldnt have thin wall cylinders with a 1641 . 69X87. what do you have in there with stock 85.5?

I'm confused . I thought 1641 was a bigger cylinder, but without having to bore out the case.

they are thinner than the stock 1600 but to me its not that thin compared to running 90.5 0r 92's. I had a 1641 in my 67 with kadron's and an E110 cam and that sucker would scoot.
