    Arrow Inside a 40 Year Old Motor

    So we cracked it all open today this is what we saw. Car is 1969, 84k miles, never rebuilt. putting new push rods in all new gaskets wanting a 4 barrel carb with manifold (obviously) making sure the springs are tight and cleaning the heads. doing this off of a $200 dollar savings. If you have anything you thing laying around or your interested in giving a hand due to boredom P.m. me and ill let you know if im interested. i do take cash/check/parts donations!!!

    I remember those days..... I built jacked up small block chevy motor in high school
    and dropped it in a 1974 Camaro. I remember figuring what parts I could buy on my busboy paycheck. Those were some fun times. Enjoy the process!
