Uncle Tony speaks the truth

I’m going through a 68 440 out of a Charger. The customer told me the engine had been rebuilt before but never really ran like it should. It is .030 over with some domed TRW pistons that are melted and don’t move freely on the rods. The crank is .020 on the mains and .030 on the rods. The rear main seal surface on the crank is rusted and pitted so badly it would never stop leaking. The inside of the block is covered in rust like it sat under a tarp for years. The best part is the heads don’t pull any vacuum over 10 inches and the cam was so small would be more at home in a small block then a big block Mopar. Whoever did this work must be a Chevy fan or just did not know what they where doing. I could never put work out like this and call it rebuilt or sleep at night. Like everyone else said all engines are just a core unless you know it’s history
