318 timing chain.....and why the engine should come out.
I feel much better.
The engine i cleaned up for the barracuda showed little signs of wear. I have a feeling it was either rebuilt or was a factory replacement engine.
Then i acquired a second engine. It was near identical as my first one. I swapped cranks between the 2. Picked the best parts to make 1.
Still a low budget runner,taking necessary steps to make your engine last.
