Re: The Old Duffer
A lot has happend since my last real update. The loss of oil pressure signaled my worst fear. My brand new motor was rendered junk by a small crack in the block near the cam. Water leaked through & doused my cam which in turn melted the bearings outta the journals like butter. It was an ugly mess. I shipped the motor back to Tom Lowe along with my my trucks original 250 & he burned the midnight oil to get my block prepped & built & back to Greening auto in Nashville. I feel the first motor was doomed cause the old Duffer just wanted keep his stock block between the frame rails & wasn't going to accept anything else. Right now everything is now back together & in the truck running better than the first rebuild ever did. It's at the alignment shop getting the suspension tuned up with new shocks & a few front end bits & pieces and should be on the road tomorrow. I'll post some pics & video tomorrow.
