1968 Barracuda Notch 340
Took 2 weeks away from the Cuda, burned out from all the rabbit holes on what I thought were simple issues; like a friggin pilot bushing. A .94 was too fat and so was the .915 bushing I found on e- bay. Inside calipers I bought only measured in 100ths. So reached out to my buddy Austin, smart talented 23 year old kid ready to graduate and getting offers from aerospace companies. He said he'd be glad to make a new bushing from scratch, he bought a pin gauge set he's always wanted and measured the crank bore, had a bushing turned out in a day for me. Bushings in the freezer, maybe I get back to Cuda work today.
