Wow, long time, no post! The 406 has been getting me around, but never quite right. The first shop did a hand job on the rear main seal register. I had to strip it down to the bare block and found a guy to make it round and concentric.
Bores are loose and I doinked the pushrod length (guides are now shot). Dealing with blow by, down on cylinder psi, long sad story.
Junior happened to have a virgin 400, which I dropped off at the "new" shop for inspection. Today (three months later) I just ordered a Skip White Performance 421 rotating assembly.
As for the '67, it just like you all last saw it, tucked away in storage. I've squirreled away some dough and have been looking for a pad with a nice shop. Stuff is crazy expensive around here and new stuff sells in a week for asking price, some to the highest bidder.
I'll be back with an awesome update on the C10!
Oh, Knuckles been working the Fo** diesel deal for a while. Started his own gig with a pal, doing pretty good! He's got a low miles '77 K20 with a home-built 454 roller. Sounds *****in!
