I quite enjoyed doing that work. I did alot of the port work watching old interviews with Carol Shelby or listening to old music. Hardly work at all. Just fun. Oh and it took me longer to find my welder than to make the pipe. 2 cuts and 5 minutes welding is all it took. I had to go search the big shop for my welder since I hadn't used it since before I moved and I had to put new wire in it.
This is one instance old age and treachery doesn't overcome my youth and skill. I have the patience and spryness to be hunched over a cylinder for hours to make the best of my engine.
