$10 shovel update




As you know i pulled the motor for look.So after removing topend and then splitting the cases.The good news is that the previous owner stock it full of great s&s parts.First thing i noticed is the heavy spring collars.Then the s&s pistons and cylinders which miked out to 3 5/8 bore which was good that the bores still had the cross hatch showing.Leading down to the s&s 495 cam which also looked in good shape.So i figuered i'm this far and the cases have already been polished but needed to be redone i figured what the hell and split the cases.To which revealed the s&s 4 1/2 stroker wheels with heavy duty rods.Which brings me to the best part after doing the math i now the proud owner of a 93'' stroker.Needless to say all of this just saved me about 2500.00 bucks.Hey not like i was bumming it was supposed to be 74''.Hell i'm just happy to finally owning a shovel.I know most people dream of pans,knuckles but for me it was always the untrustworthy shovelhead.
