Dont try to fix the old block. I did that once and spent way to much money on it only to replace the block later with a dart block after I ripped the head studs out.


Good advise . It is going to scrap yard today . Probably build a 410 or 412 later as money permits .

It could be sleeved with a heavy wall , but im not going to keep it .

And TP that block and piston didnt have a chance in hell against that Carrillo rod and lunati crank . Rod looks like new crank was still great . Head can be saved . ill repair it as time and money allow . Took 2 years to put this pile together .


I know about that, and am still working on my project. I will get there barring anything anything unforeseen.

Thanks , old motor looked good on teardown . Pistons and cylinder walls looked good . Rings and bearings getting replaced . Also upgraded to a beehive spring and retainer . These are surposed to last longer and are lighter at the retainer end to lighten up the valvetrain . Should have the old motor back tuesday . We will see .

It wont take long to figure it out . I have had 2 people touch it . Probably not a problem when the hood is on , but my wife put her hand down on it and my neighbor did also .

You race at Pine Valley? I have a good friend that races there...Bryan Hoffman.. He sponsors the Metco 5.80 index race. Not sure if he does the bracket races though.

Well as they say at the bank, "there ain't no flies on that". First time I have seen the truck, and what an excellent job you've done with it. That was some excellent racing, and how that other guy got you was luck. He was coming on strong on the big end and just hit the brakes and hit his exact number. Couldn't believe it. Good luck today in Lufkin.
