1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration
Another setback!!! Started to install the valvetrain today and see that the pushrods are very close or touching the bottom of the holes in the heads!!!! Grrrrr Looks like a combination of much thinner head gaskets combined with block and head resurface. The heads have to come back off, be completely disassembled and then mill out the hole along the bottom side. Not sure if I can reuse the Cometic MLS head gaskets or not. Mumble!!!
