Back Yard 440 Build On A Budget (Hopefully)

[bobs66440]

Thanks for the write-up. I would like to tackle my own engines (at least one) but wondered what sort of specialty tools I'd need. All those little things sure do add up don't they?

It was a good experience. You can definitely do it with help from knowledgeable people like I did....and some borrowed tools  

I already own most of the tools used. I had to borrow a dial indicator, valve spring compressor and a home-made tool made from a oil pump drive shaft to prime the oil pump. And you need a good torque wrench. Other than that, most of it is done with basic hand tools.

what is the intake you used, i have only seen a eddy performer dual quad.  i guess they dont make a eddy performer rpm

Appears to be an old skool Offy intake.

You would be correct!
