it is a 74 block but it was built around '95ish, talked to him again today he says pistons are TRW 9.5:1, forged and crank is forged. also heads are closed chamber? Not sure if 308's were closed chamber? He drove the engine in a Demon till wrecked, then he put it in Cuda. The Cuda sat after he put the motor in it for about 15 years why it looks rough in those pics. Before I got it back running I sprayed seafoam in each spark plug hole till full. Let sit for a couple days then turned engine over by hand. It turned very smoothly for several rotations changed the oil and fired it up. Since then I have changed the oil 2 more times in less than 1.5k miles. Maybe corrosion throughout the engine could be a problem?
