67 cuda FB progress UPDATE

Well, I got some pretty crappy news today....
Looks like both, my engine and Transmission are both going to need to be completely rebuilt.
The guy I purchased the car from is an engine builder and he said he did a complete rebuild on the engine and trans. Aparently he never ran it. so much for being worth his salt....
Anyways, he did tell the truth, it was rebuilt but the unfortunate part is that it was over 10 years ago. They were reinstalled and the car was parked in the grass for the entire time , up untill the day I bought it. I figured I would replace all the gaskets, freeze plugs and change the valve springs and lifters since it sat for so long. basically do an over all freshening up on it. When I was breaking it down I found a LOT of rust, dirt, and even wasp nests in the cylindars. The trans isn't a whole lot better. I was to pissed to even think of taking pictures, so I will try to get some of the breakdown on here soon . I still haven't let my son know yet. He's going to be pretty upset, seeing as it's his project as well as mine. How am I going to break the bad news to him about how much more it's going to cost? Dam!!!!!!!! hell of a senior project. Guess he learns a bit more on finances as well L.O.L!
