You should have my number if you want to talk about it.

Make sure you get your old (unusable) ones back.

#retiredlife. I am tired from working on being retired .

I didn’t think your door cards were that bad a shape ! Maybe I didn’t look close . Good luck

Maybe the cam had been dropped at one time and was cracked - and it finally gave out.

That part went well!

It’s funny how you need to get to work when you retire from work!-lol! I can’t keep up with retirement .

Lots of meat on that header flange . I might consider a little sanding on the thermostat housing . I believe I had to trim the gasket too

Can’t believe this thread is 4 years old. Man I’m slow. I did order a cam today for the build . Potter Racing cam! Once I have it in hand I can actually start the rest of the assembly. Need to work out lash pads once cam is here, then check PVC - hope that works out well -eek! Meanwhile the 3.2 block gets a bath so I can drop the crank in!

Keep in mind that unit(s) are not light to move around. I bet the 5000 model weighs in at 75-80 pounds per ramp. I have the 3500 and I am pretty pleased . I paid much more for my 3500, so the price is good. Biggest issue is lowering of ramps has to have weight on it . So if you raise a car and then put on stands it’s a bit of a pain to lower the ramps. Also not a big fan of using the pinch welds because you have to line up everything perfect . Maybe the longer 5000 will be better than the 3500 I have. The 3500 definitely has to be set just right to raise the car on the pinch seams . I’m considering welding an attachment for using the frame .

Retired - sorry 🙂

Anyone know for sure if the s-30 roof structures are all the same? I know things changed down below, but not sure about roof. Depending on what you consider as a roof component , the shoulder belt attachment would be different - would it not? Forward of the shoulder harness attachment I think everything is identical. I will be studying this for obvious reasons. I am working with a friend - who owns a body shop and has been in the biz for 40 years.

An hour or sooooooooooooooooooooooo
