well that's the next project , pull motor apart and determine it's health . if it will make it until winter the block will get painted , and go together next week and then I just need the oil pan from my buddy , my pushrods and it goes back in

I think I want to experiment just the way it is I bet it will live

Did you ever check compression before tearing it down?

I would bet it lives too. Did you bother pulling a bearing cap just to see since its out?

TOOLOW91 · Mar 22, 2014

Looks a hundred times better than factory! Keep it going & don't get depressed... Your making progress at a good enough rate! If you need to take a break? Take one IMHO....

MY 85 GT · Mar 22, 2014

I wouldn't touch that block slap the heads and intake on and BOOST that sucker.....!!!!! Like I told you Jeff my bottom end is stock still I knew a stock block wouldn't live long with a lot of boost but hey my still lives with 14 psi and a TF top end kit...well minus the cam I run the stock cam...I wanted the almost stock drivabilty which it does give me..

Made some progress before work today . Got the headlight ballasts in and hidden now so you don't see them when the hood is open and also got the battery clean and in the tray . then went to work on the motor . marked all the pistons and started disassembling . Tomorrow I plan on actually getting it all apart .
