As alot of you know, old blue popped a head gasket a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have pulled the heads and noticed that it looks like the number 7 and 8 cylinder wasnt firing or at least not that good anyway. I now have a company vehicle which is a good thing and can start working on the old trucks appearence and heart transplant. I took the heads to the machine shop and got the bad news that they were no good thanks to the previous rebuilder who really screwed the heads up with a sorry valve job. I decided to go ahead and buy a set of heads and thanks to my cousin for having a set of brand new never used heads that he sold to me for $100.00 I can start the transformation. So heres what I'm thinking. I already have the heads off, I want to start on the body work and I want to go ahead and dive into the engine to see what else if anything is wrong. It has been bored .30 over and I would like for it to have more grunt. what would be a good approach to getting more power out of it since I am going into it anyway. And yep, I'm on a budget. I was thing about making it a 383 stroker but I'm not sure of everything I will need. Can you guys give some suggestions as to what I need or any other sugestions. OH YEAH 500 caddy eng. is out of the ? The one I was thinking about getting is toast I beleive. Thanks for the advice and sorry for such a long drawn out post.
