    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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
