Also don't tighten anything up until they're all in, every little bit of wiggle helps.

Poly bushings should not be final torqued until car is sitting at ride height with weight on it or they can bind

Look at my pretty springs. I got it done, just have to tighten down both sides. I had the arm install in 15 minutes on the driver side. BOUT TO HAVE THAT CALI LEAN!

New torque arm, founders

Rear wheels sitting down and pretty. Looks nice

Also ordered koni str.t to replace the kyb agx. I found them for 320 so I couldn't resist.

Hey Dan, when you pulled your stock heads how did your head gaskets and pushrods look? Did you check for bent ones?

Also when you put in LE heads what method did you use to adjust lash?

Just curious. I may end up doing this soon.

Both headgaskets were blown.
Pushrods were fine, non bent.

I set last the traditional sbc way. Wiggled it up and down and tightened nut until there was no movement then 1/2 turn.

Shbox.com will spell it out for ya in a way that is hard to ef up to adjust rockers. I always go 3/4 turn now, hearing too many horror stories about 1/2 turn walking off or sounding like a sewing machine. Factory are set to 1.25 to 1.5 turns so nyea

Ok

So I need to quiet down the car. I have an event at the local track. The decibel limit is 74. What are some options I have? . Currently I have no idea what decibel I'm at, but I know it's loud.

MagnaFlow maybe?

Also @tubby_Z28 I'll get more pics for ya when I get home. Sorry, just been stupid busy with school
