well my buddy and i started the topend tear down today. i bought the car for 400. the guy said a rebuilt motor was placed in car. however he said it ran fine. then it wouldnt run right. it would backfire through the throttle body. so come to find out. after removing the tbi, it looks like the manifold wasnt seated or sealed tight enough. possibly letting air in. as you will see in my pics where water was leaking into the heads.( SEE PORTS) there were also several loose bolts all over motor. i mean so loose, i could undo with my fingers. man i tell ya. amazingly though the motor is clean. super clean inside. everything is out. tommorrow is the heads and accessories. i will be selling the stuff i dont need. keep an eye out in the classifieds. going on the motor is a victor jr, holley 750dp, mallory dist, camel hump fuelies completely redone with springs good for 600 lift. full port and polish. back cut manley pro flo valves 1.6 rockers. also throwing in a comp cams 286hr cam. whole valve train is comp brand except for valves. i will be removing the ac setup as well. full billet dress up kit, with polished alternator, water pump. i will post pics as project goes along
