Well after a few days of diagnosis I determined that I was going to pull then engine and replace it. with a boroscope I found crude and rust in cylinders 3 and 5 and the freeze seals were blown out when I tried to put water in. The dilemma was do I replace everything and add electronics. Well unfortunately I just don't have time for that right now because I will be moving to another state relatively soon(I am in the Navy). So today I pulled the trigger on a small block 400. I have some work to do to it but it should be relatively easy to complete and then it will just drop in. I will have some power to play with until I can get a full donor car for the LT1 swap that I ultimately want to do. Time and patients. That what it will take. Here are some pictures of the block and heads. Still need to get the rest of the stuff from the guys though. Its a bad picture but that is a double timing chain.
