I just got the "tirebird" back from the engine builder. Man, it is sweet! It has a new valve train and assorted hardware, it's bored .030 over with new speed pro pistons and assorted hardware, a new extreme energy cam, new 750 Holley dual feed, and a lot of other stuff. It's running a little tight now, which is to be expected, but it's still lewd, rude, and loud,..just the way I wanted it. BTW, we found out it had overheated which hurt the passenger side deck so we decked the block .0060 and still kept the "T0417CRR" stamping, although it is fainter than before.
There are some pics of the rebuild on this page. https://www.yenko.net/photos/showgall...ge=3&sort= John

It is coming along nicely John. Enjoyed the photos as well. It will be interesting to hear how she runs on the street when you get her out there.

Thanks Rick: I'm driving it almost every day this week to get it to the first oil change at 250 miles and every time I get behind the wheel it becomes more "user friendly"
