well went to the garage today. gutted the engine bay. and heads are off. clean cylinder walls. my 1 buddy is a race engine builder who now lives in florida.(sucks) says from the pictures i sent him, it looks like theres not even 1000 miles on the block. its just too clean. he figures someone had a tired 305. swapped it with a rebuilt 5.7. and just put all the 305 stuff back on. the heads were 187's (305) my block turns out to be a 355. so things are going good.
when im done. this should be like a new motor.....now to find a set of 37o or 409 gears for my 9 bolt...
i want to have my ceramic headers redone. anyone recommend a place. i need my air tubes cut off and patched. then recoat them chrome
