Well, time to bump this thread a bit.
1. Car is in the paint shop, has beem since August. Good thing is I didn't have to look for a garage to store it for winter
2. Engine was competly disassembled and showed us actually how much damaged it was. Decided to re-pierce the block and turn it into a 306ci.
Also gonna dip it in acid to clean it up real good so it's ready to be painted. So for arbout 1k, I'll end up with a brand new engine.
That's about it for now but since Spring is comming up real fast I should add a lot more pages to this thread.
