355 top end rebuild.
Hello everyone, after stress, agony, and almost selling the car, i've decided to do pretty much a complete top end rebuild on my 86 T/a.
Well, lost my printout but this is basically what my list consists of.
-new cam kit, im thinkin 240
-new holley 600CFM carb
-new intake.
-new timing belt
-new dual radiator fan
-new 4 core radiator
i'll be posting pics and keeping you guys updated. it should start here in the coming week or two!

It's just about done! Got tons of pics to show you guys. What we found internally was, lets say, amazing to say the least. lobs on the cam were worn, lifters were shot. Gaskets weren't sealed properly, if at all. but it was clean inside. i'll post pics later. but time to get put the tv in and setup the choke. i'll have her home in a bit!!

The oil wasnt glittery? I always get worried when cam lobes are worn.
