Pay no more than $450 for the pair. $300 is the going rate on a good deal in my neck of the woods.

You may want to see about having the heads milled a little while they're in the machine shop too. A little bump in compression will help with efficiency and up the torque level. Most shops will charge around a hundred bucks to do it which may be money well spent since they're already there...

Shouldn't need custom length push rods if you're only taking off 0.020-0.030". Depending on how many miles are on the engine it may be a good time to replace the push rods and lifters anyways though. Here's a thread about someone that did pretty much the same thing over at performancetrucks.com: http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/internal-engine-modifications-158/mill-317s-how-much-431884/

So its been a LONG time but I made a little progress. Got re-centered H1's and 37" Military BFG's. I have a 14bolt simi floater and 8 lug 12 bolt under it now. need to move the perches on the full floater.

The front axle looks like its going to be to far back in the finder well. It looks worse in the picture because the wheel is turned a little. I didn't spend much effort in lining everything up. Hopefully in the next month I can get all the fiberglass on. That front finder-well is just huge, and this is only 4" of lift with 37's

About to make some progress, just quit my job, sounds counter intuitive don't it, But lack of free time has been the biggest issue. Man I'm ready to get this ****er going!
