Something followed me home..
Example 258,001 on why this car hates me.
Fired the re-re-refreshened engine and......(insert drum roll here).....sounds strong for about 20 seconds and...locks up....(ARE YOU F$#%ING KIDDING ME!!!!) Readers digest version is it spun #8 rod bearing!! SWEET!!!
Since cruising season is coming quickly the 318 that was in it last year is going back in but, with the cam, intake, heads from the 360. I suppose I will take a breather from the terrible time I have had with this engine and possibly buy a 408 kit for and start over. I really get a feeling this car wanted to just rot into the ground but, I had to save it so, it's punishing me...318 ready to go back in..hopefully running this weekend so I can get other things accomplished.
