I have got everything I need for the bottom end and most of the stuff for the heads, I only need to get some valve springs and new valves. Then it will be time to put it together. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've never driven a EFI V8, but carbys are fuel munchers :P Have a better note though than EFI in my opinion.
