Is it true? could it really be???
Tease shot!
Hopefully she will be in by the end of the month! First time I tore into a motor, learned some new stuff. I got a Awesome mechanic friend helpin me out with this. We thought it would be a good idea to tear into it some and see how things are and to give me a run down of a motor. For the last couple months(?) my truck has been down at ETs_c10 lot waiting to be fixed. At first me and Joe *mechanic buddy* replaced the valve stem seals on my old motor and new plugs in. Thing ran AWESOME. Finally it wasn't smoking. Then we delve deeper and found out that the timing chain was REALLY Stretched out*no biggie*. Then after running it around it started knocking down below. He checked all the "cheep" stuff to no avail. But during that time, 60ratrod gave me a offer I could not refuse! Basics of it is a 305 bored out 30 over, used, but rebuilt at some point. Also with the deal is a 268he comp cam along with new springs, lifters, timing chain, Edelbrock Performer*iirc* and a couple other goodies! for a SCREAMING DEAL! So after monkeying around I think ole red will be moving again hopefully by the end of the month!! I couldn't be more excited! P.s. ratrod I haven't forgotten about the fenders/hood. Since I went pink my PM box is full and I don't want to lose the stuff I saved. So I should be back to the blue side soon so I will PM you. But if its OK with you, sometime next week me and Ellen will come up. But I will be PMing you ASAP. Thank you very much again! P.P.S Yes I know, the three leged wonder motor stand is not that safe. Heck, I am just happy to have a reason to use one! Lol and its not mine and its taking up space for free so I cant complain! lol
