cool beans.. glad I am not the only one wrenching on trucks.

I swapped in a spare 318 and missed a PR in the rocker cup.. ouch! wiped the lobe/lifter.

100$ found a reman 318 .030 flat tops/#302 heads that was in a JY with no vc/intake so no warranty. but.. only needed to replace the pan/pump couple lifters due to rust.

so I swapped in a 88 TBI roller cam/lifters all new gaskets.

painted my front clip while it was off as well.

prepping doors next while I fix the wiped flat tappet engine up with the whiplash roller cam for round 3 LOL!
