Shiny new Heads, Shaving, Scoops and Scatter
Went past the shop today as some parts needed welding and also to check out what they've been up to with my motor. The new engine parts for the rebuild are still a week or two before arriving from the US so in the meantime the shop has been busy making the current parts all brand new again. The heads are looking better than new with finishing touches such as grinding the short term radius for improved flow.
Before they go back on the headers needed shaving as the gap was way outta spec after it was discovered the last exhaust shop didn't bother replacing the gasket - yeah good on ya guys - not!
Got the scattershield from Chris (latemodel21) ready to go in place giving protection from exploding pulleys lol.
Also received my Hurricane Scoops today from Albert (berti_00) so looking forward to seeing what they look like on. I thought I was 100% decided on where I was going with the colors for callipers, engine and scoops but now having second thoughts... Hmmm...

Yep they're the ones, thank you Joe I've never been 100% sure what they were so nice to have confirmation. They have both been machined now so hopefully that solves any leaks.
