Getting the trailer dug out so I can bring it to the shop.
Looks like you got the same problem we have to much snow.
Checked the oil when I got home from work, and there was water in it. Craptastic. Hopefully, it's just a head gasket. This will provide me some serious motivation to put on my airgap intake and 302 heads.
On a good note, my rocker arm hold down kit from Hughes was waiting for me when I stepped in the door.

Stripped the 8-3/4. 3 rounds of oven cleaner from the 99 cent store. Scrubbed with dawn, hosed off and some rustez spray until I can prep for paint.
Modified the bell crank bracket for the kickdown to clear the tti exhaust pipes per their instructions.
Removed the gas tank and rear bumper
Scrubbed, cleaned and wire wheeled all the brake hardware. Wheel cylinders broken down and cleaned. Most of the brake components must have been fairly new. Shoes didn’t look good. Heat stress cracks. Drums looked okay but may just get new ones.

Doing some more engine plumbing and trying on air cleaners.
Looking very nice. Do you happen to know what coating that is on your exhaust manifold. Like that color.

Wired up gauges to dash dimmer. Bought a Bluetooth adapter for the new stereo. Should have bought one with it built in.

Wanted to warm up the car. It's -7. got outside and the garage door wouldn't shut from exhaust interfering with the door sensors. Wile turning the car around the throttle stuck. panicked and threw it in neutral (bush league. should have instantly went for the key) threw it back in gear to get the rpms down. sent the rear end/driveshaft into the floor.

Its pouring rain and flooding again today here. But luckily my engine is inside. And I have heat! If it wasnt for that I wouldn't have gotten anything done this winter this has been the weirdest nastiest winter I've ever remembered. We haven't had alot of snow we have only had two significant snows and neither one of them was on the ground more than a few days. It's all the rain we haven't had more than 2 or 3 straight days without rain all winter long every creek steam and river is flooded my backyard has flooded, it flooded now actually.

I got some more porting done to my heads and got the valve guides cut on one side. I'm almost satisfied with the exhaust side on this one head I'm gonna gasket match the intake side and move to the other head tomorrow.
