Too much endplay question.

The car has 276 gears, stock heads & worn out 901 springs and converter. With the new cam he doesnt have to rev the crap out of it to get it up to speed. Its not like he is taking this car out and thrashing it down the 1/4 mile every weekend, thats what the other engine is for. This is just to get him by until he can swap engines. Back when I was a teenager I had a 74 chevy truck, I bought it with the engine was worn out. I reringed, put new bearings in it, but came to find out that the endplay was way out of spec it was .05something out of spec. I didnt have anmore $$ to put into it for a crank kit, So I just ran it. that motor lasted me another 80,000 miles befor i swapped it out with a v-8. Being a teenager I was not easy on it either.

If it was my car i would pull the pan for bearings, or find a good Jy 318 and swap it in, since just knowing its that far out of spec would bug me.

Anyways you guys dont need to worry about it anymore, since its running now. I will let you all know how it does
