Pulling 522 stroker from 1970 Swinger Help please

could still be the chain then

but depending on when it went, yeah, it may have taken a few valves out


what's the background, did you buy the car running or was it like that when you bought it?
Bought it 4 weeks ago at Gateway classic cars in Denver. It was running well when I test drove it and ran well for a while after I got it home. I knew that it was built to drag race, all high quality stuff and very well executed. It’s a beautiful car.
