Jeff M., Da-burb, even though I am mainly a 73-87 guy now they are the exact numbers i was thinking. I am totally capable of fixing the engine. I just found out today that he did have the bottom end COMPLETELY redone so that means it is already clean,new bearings & such with 2,000 miles on it . the sound he described is a typical piston slap and if all the bearings still look good. I could get some Hyper-U pistons & rings sreasonable and fix it . saying that it is fresh now and someone could hear it run on my test stand . what would the whole package be worth??, DO these engines use peanut port or normal oval port heads ? thanx again , DAVE
