Tom,
There's a silver lining to every cloud. Now you can look forward to receiving another UPS delivery and box to open with your newly ordered, race issue pushrods inside!
Still a bit shell shocked hearing and looking at the motor mount/frame situation. Not surprising it could happen especially with the 502's but more because I hadn't heard of this one time in all the years.
That intake is beautiful! I'm sure you've had the same thought I get about it being hidden. Too bad.

We got the bike running today and it looks like I am going to have to learn to ride it all over again... WOW!!!! roll into it at 50 and I gotta be real easy getting into the secondaries. A fairly aggressive roll on will blow through the rear tire at 70-80. Gonna take some finesse to relearn my throttle control..Valve springs may be a little tough for the hydraulic lifters so I need to get that worked out. The power gain is huge and it seems to be mostly top end. I am overall very pleased with the results.

Tom,
Congratulations! A bigblock with that kit must have some attitude. Any difference with sound or lope at idle or any differences on the bottom end?
