LMAO!!!! Russ is Russ, no splaining necessary. Wand wash...funny. It's pretty amazing how far those chunks of grease can fly. What are they gonna say? "You got my car dirty while I was waiting on you!" With no jerks behind me I'll be so considerate as to run my crud down the drain before I'm done.

I want to see pics of the crank casting.

A little extra on the guy I got it from

Brian, the guy I got the engine from is a Hot Rod (old school-chopped/rockibilly) ?? I dunno have a look, anywho he had several cool toys there and sent me some picts as I forgot my camera. I wanted to get images of the Galaxy which was not new news... but then

http://s216.photobucket.com/albums/c...n%20Cs%20toys/

wish I had his problems with addiction LOL

BTW he asking $6500 for the Galaxy any interested parties feel free to email me. Or go to CL for Bakersfield CA and search Galaxy, 390, etc..

DAMN!!! pulled the plugs and #2 was rusted up.. froth on the piston.. well for a bill it cant be all bad LOL.. Coated the pistons with PB, filled #2 to the rim... dropped the plugs back in till we can get at it. Popped the covers and saw the same stuff on the # 4/8 rockers(rusty at the back) Hoping that not a sign of filled with water and evaporated several times over the years ? Hopefully sometime this week I can get her apart for a look..

I pulled the dipstick and the oil read a bit high1.5 qts but no sign of milkshake. Sitting it wouldn't mix that easily though. Of course the high reading could also be the huge impression in the base of the oil pan from a little too hard of a drop. Crossed fingers...

A little to hard on the pan...LOL... Bob..if the Oil is fine in the pan then...I wouldnt think the block is gone.......But I could see it being Milk shaked in the heads "IF" it sat with the air cleaner off....and or a filler cap off on the rocker covers....

I'am really hoping it will be a good build for you....I know you've been looking for something cheap to start with for quite some time....So I'am hoping you'll be alright !!

Good Luck Bro !

Keep us posted on your findings....

RJ
