Twisted Wedge time!!!
Just a little update, FINALLY topped off my Trick Flow Cam/Intake combo with some early Twisted Wedge heads. Got em from a member here (THANKS!!!) and promptly got to work tearin the motor down yet again. Ran into TONS of trouble, mostly with rocker arms, then finally after a week of slow work the Grace of God came thru last Saturday and everything fell into place and she fired. Still runnin on 19lbers at the moment but Ive got a date with a dyno later this month. Were gonna run 30lbers and a Lightning MAF. Anyways, on to the pics!
Let the teardown BEGIN!!! Were gettin good at this
E7s off the car, gettin ready for the Twisted Wedges
Cant quite see it but the cylinder walls are ppppeeeerfect. Can still see the crosshatching!!! Junkyard motor FTW!!!
Bye Bye E7s...
HEELLLOOOOOO Twisted Wedges!!!
Gettin there...now the trouble begins. Couple days later and we had the right rockers and pushrods and she rumbled to life.
Wanted to keep the motor dirty lookin and keep people guessin as to what was goin on under the hood...but I got bored waitin for the rockers and had to mess with some paint. Painted the top black and the bottoms aluminum to match the heads to make the transition less noticable. Then I couldnt help throwin in a bit of a personal touch.
All buttoned up and ready to rock!!!
Ive sorted out a few little issues since then and nearly lost it all to the Tornado that ripped thru Middle TN. Got done cleanin up the debris today and had a little time to do a litte tweakin and go for a ride. Got lucky guys...God is good!!!
Here are a couple shots of the damage about 100yds from the house. The truck took a pounding with debris and hail but only lost some paint...no worries LOL.

Thats not the worst of it either...i walked thru hell tryin to find some family friends a couple neighborhoods over from mine...saw damage i never wanna see again, but luckily very very few were injured which is a blessing for sure. Prayers for the folks effected by this storm would be greatly appreciated!!! Itll take some time for things to get back to normal around here.
ANYWAYS
Lemme know what yall think guys!!! Ill def. update when the tune is done and the numbers, no matter how low, come in
