Zac_F71's 71 Demon
Got the correct QA1 A body lower arms from Summit a few days early so I'm going to start in on that while I think about what to do with the 383 - (tore down and found LOTS of metal in the valley and lower end bearings)
Cleaning - the motor - sorry no pics of it torn down yet.. (left the heads dirty as I don't plan to use them - got 71 440 "346" heads for it)
The cylinders I'm happy to report are standard bore, and have a tiny ridge that should come out with a hone. Someone had put head gaskets in it though it had the .022" thin steel gaskets in it - other than that though it appears to be untouched!
Plus insulation from cold concrete LOL (was 40* outside..)
