I 100% agree with that. What I don't agree with is that I have to drive 140 miles round trip twice to get it done. The lack of machine shops and tools in my area is really a bummer.
So, me and cleaners/brakleen are going to have to do the best we can me thinks. Unless I build this motor for lasting, I'm not sure I want to make a 280 mile trip for a hot tank.
The head is a newer no drip style head that has been all rebuilt and never used. its clean as a whistle. Just this old block of mine that I'm having to deal with. I got the rockers all cleaned up and lookin good. Same with pushrods, which is how I found cracked cup on one.
Most people would probably scrap this motor or use it for an extensive overhaul. I may set it aside and go with the 318 in this car to save the /6 for future use or to retain the parts I've acquired for a better blocked car at least. =) Shame to keep this motor for so many years and finally get to tear it down to see what a mess it is ='(
Thanks for your feedback on my project, I appreciate it!
