Two cylinders were scared..Should clean up at .055 over. Rod bearings were shot. 1 main bearing showed some scars. 1 piston was chewed up on the bottom and probably some other things I forgot!!

Sounds like it needs everything Ted... gotta sit down and give it some thought... might be time for a stroker but can your heads support a stroker... that would be the main thing now

I going to put the trans in so I can crank it over with the starter and see what come out of this spark plug hole. do a leak down . blow some air in that hole and see just how bad it is. I might give the block seal a try..or take the head off and look in there..Ted If you need anything let Me know I got lots of blocks..I got almost a spare motor here. would have to buy some parts..
