Interesting article in this months LRO with a series one 6l GMC V8 with a Muncie box
 
Snigger, engines shorter than the Rover heap of **** ;) just a little wider. We'll see how it looks once it goes in :)

Gotta raise the suspension first though I think, leave the boxes as low as possible then add skid guards ;) means I get a decent rear prop length

Can't wait to fire this monster up :D

They work great, Done lots of valves/ heads with that on VW air cooled
Used a electric drill with variable speed set very low to do the hard part, then used a hand lapper for final, then spot bluing to check all is well

i have done bloody loads of valves and i used a leccy drill at first then hand lapped for final grind.
 
My old man has one on the drill.. to be honest its more of a pain than by hand.. the grit is harder to control with the drill attachment
