Its been running well with good temperature and oil pressure readings but obviously theres somthing major going on inside the block.
I guess we are talking about taking the engine out and a rebuild
thats going to take some money and time, I was really hoping to tackle the body work later this year and redo the interior
that will be on hold
another option is there is a '72 351W block at Dallas' shop just sitting there and looks to be in really good shape
it was supposed to go into a mustang build that never got done
soooo... rebuild my stock 302 or buy the 351 and have that rebuilt then swap out the engines?
Im favoring going the 351 route
its going to take at least a month for them to rebuild one of those engines and i can keep driving for now on my 302 (at least around town)
