Its not hopefully it shall be soon, I just haven't had the time but on the plus side all the bits are there and waiting. as for the heads regardless of what some may say the 220 version of GTP40s are a fair sort of thing already with OS Ferite (spelln) valves stainless steel guides and port matched already we just had them stripped, cleaned, bit of a shave and light massage new stem seals and reassembled @ $250 a side so give me a week or 2 and we shall see how it goes

Whoosha, it seems as though there's a number of forum members impatient for your beast to be back on the road. LOL!

Better get cracking then!

Geez Whoosh, I had a stroker built in less time

Did you find out if it was the lower inlet gasket that let go? My Au did the same thing but was caught very early on and didn't cause any sludge. I picked it up as the oil went milky and didn't drive it after that. Seems it was a common problem too, yours just took a lot longer to come up becuase you don't put any k's on the damned thing.

I still have various 302 parts lying about if you need anything too.
