What a grease ball
So thanks to member @Slantsix64 for selling me some good stuff to keep this build moving to the end. At this rate I can see having it in the car and running around the January or February time frame.
I am slow but I am juggling family life, overtime at work and expenses around.
But here is a start:
Main bearings, rod bearings, and a set of piston rings. I already had the cam bearings ( not pictured)
I have no idea who in their right mind would trust 40, 50 year old cam bearings so ALL of my engines will get them replaced.
My dad said he never replaced cam bearings. But I replied with "dad, that was when the original cam bearing were 30,40 years newer."
I think it's worth the piece of mind.
Next step is polish the crank and then get a new cam and lifters. Then some steering wheel time.
