We did find some dirt like stuff in oil in the corner of the heads. We did find some metal in the oil as well. The bearings look good though. I didn't see any metal in the oil we drained. The car is just one big mistake.We'll get running though.

lol told you to pull the engine and trans out the bottom... nobody ever listens to me :(
Just so anyone following this can keep up, MRfecht, our friend, and I got together and talked a little about what cam to get. I think we may have him leaning twards the AI cam kit and we'll prolly be getting somewhere around a 228/234 or the next size up. Not sure what to do about heads at this point. Bottom end will probably be a stock crank forged rods/pistons 355 or forged 383 depending on what kinda budget he comes up with.
If you haven't already, give Lloyd Elliot a shot at your business. He is a sponsor on here now and an all out amazing guy to deal with. Answers emails, PMs, and returns calls everyday. If you give him a little info on your build he will give you a brain full of info back!
I havent had enough money to order anything from Loyld yet but from all the reviews and dyno numbers I have seen I would have to agree with firebird_1995. He seems to know his shit and have second to none customer service, now thats just what ive heard from everyone that has delt with him so I could be wrong? lol.Quote:

X3 here, on calling Lloyd. He's definitely the man to talk too. Soon as I figure out my budget this winter I'm gonna be calling him, if not for headwork at least getting a cam for my setup.
Budgets always the enemy of builds lol.
Guess that makes me x4!!
yes I almost forgot about lloyd.... what was i thinkin???? lol I'll have to get him in the mix. It's just what mike needs, more options to think about rofl
Gonna bring this thing back from the dead... I *might* be building an engine for this thing, 350/355 cube with an LE cam... My buddy and I have been mulling over some ideas for it as of late and building a parts list... I'll keep it updated if any further progress is made. I am feeling determined to get him on track to a running t/a before summer! I wanna hear this beast roar again like it used to. I can remember back when the original owner still had it, it was a beast on the street. cammed and straight piped cause 'murica:headbang:
