well i just came home and looked at it briefly. The driver side valve cover gasket blew out which is what caused all the oil. now i am most certain number 7 will be fried when i pull the plugs at some point. At least it went down while having it’s ass beat as opposed to just cruising like a bitch.

I can definitley do that, except it will be crown/jack etc…
if it helps they usually yell at me when I try to work on my own silly American car becuase they think I will screw something up, but they know me pretty well so…

I don’t know what sucks more - the fact that you broke it, or the fact that even down a cylinder, it would put a few busses on me. :biglaugh:
You should get on that. ^

Ouch with the miles on that thing and the amount you beat it i would be happy if my car last as long as yours. Good luck on the rebuild though 408 with a 250shot is the way i would go.

My guess on the compression test.
8-90 7-30
6-205 5-200
4-205 3-205
2-200 1-195
ask turbo nicely if you can borrow his drive train for a few days 🙂

I am with this guy, 427 cu.in LSX or lets Darton MID sleeve your block. That way you have 427 cu.in of goodness with little weight. Keep the plate kit for the first stage, them direct port with a FAST 92/92 for the second stage. Oh and the T56 will not do…powerglide time
