Back when speeding tickets were $25 and they made you dump your beer out on the ground.

I would expect the next step is to source all missing parts and create a correct rebuilt long block. Yes?

Question, Did you tip your hand about the engines origin or did the seller want the big number regardless?

I think Bob is referring to the bottom leaf with the engineering data and date codes.

The last time I used a grid growler was in tech school early 80s. We had a local specialty shop that used it daily. You would be surprised how many old pickups out there with Bendix rears. Vernier caliper is a tool that can be used most anywhere, very handy with scale modeling.

Maybe the management thinks its better not to cancel out a member than let the disgruntled stairstep to the next person on their hit list.

I agree, off shore pos parts causing stupid comebacks constantly. Turning 8o+ flat rate hours/wk in the 80s-90s was typical. Whole different ballgame these days.

If you have the heads re worked to R model specs then even the 715 works as it should.

Didnt Stirling Moss call him a Bloody Wanker for a prank photo set up.

Were the aux pushrod guides used in addition to the factory narrowed apertures on the Valley hipo heads?
