blown head gasket, low compression on 2 cylinders....
removed heads and everything looks great except for the small amount of missing gasket. Sooo...

Dropped off a set of older 351 heads at the machine shop today.
Gonna get em rebuilt with a little port work, bigger valves, and screw in studs for adjustable rockers. :shh:
Planning on going a little bigger on the cam to match the intake also. :shh:

Should run a good bit better when she gets back on the road :evil:

Nice progress. I I had a 302 in my old 69 and loved it. I have 360's in both of my trucks now but have not been able to really drive them to see if I like them as much. In this picture did your license plate read Burn Rubber?
