Excellent points on the family members. I have let my parents (grandpas daughter) know and she thinks it's a great idea. Once mom knows the rest of the family knows..if you catch my drift.

My grandpa overhauled the top of the engine. I will verify what that entailed and if he put in the hardened valve seats. He did all maintenance on the truck himself (another reason I love the truck)...with the exception of rebuilding the Auto Trans.

BTW..what trans would be behind the 360?...sorry for my ignorance I'm more of a chevy man (cars that is).

Thanks for all the help,
Shane
