I'm curious about the heads that came on my new engine. I was told I was getting a set of 915 J heads with the large valves. I pick up the engine after a long months wait. I uncrate and unwrap it only to find out it has 974 heads. I know they are a mid 70's head but are they comparable to the 915 j heads? Another thing we noticed, is that the lifters were not soaked in oil or have any sort of assembly lube and also were they touch the cam is dry as a bone. The cam bearings have the lube. I thought they are suppose to soak the lifters in oil to prime them and coat the entire cam?
Something else that bugs me is the shop would not provide me any info other than the cam that I specified I wanted. I have no idea what pistons, valve springs, etc... are in this thing. I also had some other issues with the shop but thought it was a fluke since this place was recommended and is so well known where I live. I was told that the engine would be complete to me with in 2 weeks at the very latest, It took a month. I did work out a deal with them on paying cash but still paid 2650 and I think I just paid for a stock 75 360 with a cam upgrade. It was suppose to be a mild built engine with a 9:1 comprssion and run on high octane pump gas. Did I get what I asked/ paid for? Did they assemble it correctly?
Rant over.........I think!!!!
