Default Out with the old!!!!
My buddy and I started tearing apart my t/a this past sunday and making room for the new engine, it took 3 or 4 hours of bs'ing ,eating pizza ,drinking monsters and turning wrenches to get it down to the short block and ready to be pulled tomorrow night..I found the answer to the mystery tick that it had for 2 years....5 bent pushrods! and evidnece of some piston to valve collison in a couple cylinders...If all goes well I should have it in and running in about a week i'm just waiting on pushrods,oil pump and all the gm gaskets

this setup is a "for now" or until it blows up and the way I push things there may be a 402 in the works sooner then later
