Maybe, just not any time soon. This was supposed to be a good running engine when I bought it. That isn’t what I wound up with, so my budget took a pretty good hit with that. Now I’m probably going to head/gasket/cam my 77 block with the 68’s guts for a decent runner instead of a decent year matching runner.

The ridge hasn’t been measured but it seems to be more pronounced at 7-11o’clock on cylinder #1 so I’m guessing they are all outta round.
