Alot of it is really greasy, is there a Solution I can make and let my parts sit in it to degrease them?

purple power or any other degreaser

 

[Ryannn]

I can just pour it into a bucket and let them sit in the purple power?

yep, that's what i did. i used a big old bucket that held protein for cows to lick on. worked great, real durable and i could put a bunch of stuff in there. mix some water in there too

Here is another one - been a long time since I built this, I think I was 19 or 20 at the time and I will be 28 in July.

Can't remember the exact spec, but I know .435/.455 @ 111 lda is close on the custom cam, new milled heads, honed, crank polished, new bearings, gaskets, new water pump, matched injectors, MAF conversion, headers, etc.
