Nice work, one prob I have in the video is the use of the word "rebuilt".......rebuilt in my book would consist of turning crank, boring, new cam bearings and freeze plugs , ect ect....in my book what you did was what we call in the automotive world an "overhaul" or aka scuff and dip.......don't get me wrong, it works and I've done it plenty of times

haha, yea true. Money is just way to tight to blow 3,000 on a 347 or something. even the extra machine work just didn't feel like I had enough to blow on.


This motor will last me long enough to save for something that will last much longer............ like a 347 SHP dart

Don't blink that little rascal will be grown up before ya know it. My youngest is almost 23 and my oldest is 36. Time will blow your mind. Spend as much with him as you can, you will not regret it. I missed alot with 20 years of deploying as a lifer. That was a great video you put together there. Did you plastigage your mains and rods?
