Thanks, I got the engine out new years day and man, is the block messed up. I hope to take the engine apart this weekend to see the extent of the damage. Its a shame because the car only has 121k on it. I have he original window sticker, and all maint. records. It even has new tires on it. Maybe it will be running next week, we will see. -
congrats !
looks like that project is in good hands.
Also dig the color

Here are some pics of the the car I got last Sunday. We drove to New Orleans to pic up. Bought it from cnardinola318is. The car only has 121k miles on it and a really clean interior. The paint is a little faded but the car is pretty straight. The lower valance is a little bent and the lip spoiler is missing. The story is that his girl friend stalled it deep water and tried to start it and it hydro locked. The result was a broken rod. It not only broke the rod, the spinning rod broke the block and the oil pan. It left 2 windows in it, one on each side. You can see trough the block.
The morning after the 800 mile round trip.
In the garage.
In position for surgery.
I pulled the engine out yesterday, Hope to get it apart soon and see what else I need to put it back together. I have a block that only has 100k on it. If the head is good I will be back in business soon.
