67 Barracuda rolling resto
Heres a few pics after removal and some details on the internals. Cast crank, TRW .030 forged pistons, and a Crane Blazer 288 cam, which was still in pretty good shape actually. I have a new Crane Energizer 284 cam kit still in the box I acquired for a couple packs of smokes years ago but I'm not sure if I want to run that one either.
It has 1587 heads with 1.60/1.88 valves. Cylinders look pretty good so far but one has been sleeved already. Rubber seals were cracked pretty good and all the gaskets were brittle. I tested the compression before removal, and all were 180 psi except #5 and 6. They were around 160.
I pulled the freeze plugs and there was tons of muck in the water jackets. I dropped off the block and heads at a local shop for hot tanking and further inspection. Hoping to hear something this week.
