Hey fellas -
Poking around on the website here - been away for a bit. I wanted to bend your ears about motor work - my '78 351m is developing a wicked knock, and I'm starting to talk to myself about rebuilds/crate motors, etc. My engine rebuild experience is limited to under 5hp, so this is outside my lane. Any ideas where I might go to? I'm Hennepin/Carver cnty area. I don't know jack about cam timing and finding 400 cranks, etc....looking for a mentor, you might say.

Always nice to get started in the right direction.
Thanks!

Cylinder Head Supply in Minneapolis. Tell him David Libson sent you. They'll take good care of you. Maybe better if you don't say my name. LOL

Good morning everyone!

Chris I saw your range of motion pic on FB, was gonna make a remark about why you need to much range anyways? But Facebook will ban me probably. Glad it's getting better though!
