69 Valiant - Rookie

After what's felt like forever, some progress. I think I may have doomed myself with that meteor picture. A while ago, I noticed considerable blow by and oil filling the air filter. I was hoping that it was just a valve guide issue, but compression test came back bad.

I had been in the market for either a rebuild or a new engine leading up to this point because I just had a feeling it wasn't going to go over we'll with this engine. (it has at least 180K maybe 280K miles on it)

Luckily, I came across a local slant six already rebuilt, but sitting for 2 years in the garage. I had to jump on it. The 2 guys we're awesome with helping me get it home. Bb66cuda is the guy that sold it, I believe.

So, I've been getting things ready to seal and prep the new slant for installation. Painting parts, cleaning accessories, etc. Will try to get some pics up soon.

I also ordered the Scarebird disc conversion, so will be doing that right after I get the new engine in and running.
