The numbers your T Bird does not want are 1139 and 381P, unless of course, you're building a stroker, and that is a whole 'nother thread. DinosaurFan, at home as himself
Thanks,I will ask the "machinist". It's still some weeks before I get real deep and dirty on my fingers, but when I do I will ask you guys for a scond opinion, maybe even post som pictures for your experienced eyes
. Who knows, I might not even need a whole kit...
The engine is'nt running all that bad, it smokes when I step on it in trafic, gray/black smoke, so the guys around here thinks it is bad rings or somethings. I really hope that the pistons are okay, and alle that is needed is to hone(is that the right word?) it.
And, any tips for a newbie DIY is greatly apriciated.
