Re: the 71 "break up" build
 
i decided to change the intake gaskets last week and ended up firing it up and blew both head gaskets so i pulled the heads to find two pistons cracked in half and one cylinder wall had a few big crackes in it . my 202 heads are fine with no damage on them

this is another engine i just picked up with the heads completly rebulit and a new crane cam and lifters put in less than 500 miles ago. i paid 300 then cleaned it up

Thanks for the update! Why do you think you blew the head gaskets after changing the intake gaskets?? Looks like a good find on the motor,were you able to hear it run?
