BTW, how did them weird intake gaskets hold up, now that you have them apart?

lets not talk about them Jason. I discovered that the screens were in fact metal too. There was 1 1/2 screens left.
Discovered the cam has a flat lobe on it too.

Anyone else havin 'one of those weeks'?

Hmmm, just thought of something....with no heads, it might be kinda fun pulling the motor.
I'm thinking a bellhousing bolt and one in a water pump bolt hole.
Anyone have a better idea?
a gallon of gas and a match maybe?

I used the head bolts when I pulled my 250-6 cyl. Just a thought. I'm also running a Performer RPM intake and my rear 2 bolts on the passenger side keep working loose, maybe too much anti-sieze to grip the aluminum heads. I didn't have water in the oil, just kept losing coolant. Good luck and keep on truckin'..................Jerry

Heck with no heads, jump in there, and grab the engine, throw it on your shoulder and climb out. . . . . . . . . . .
