Washed out K5...
first the details.. I have a 72' K5 4"lift, 35" BFG m/t 350/350, motor has minor work to it but contains a comp cam 4x4 270H, HEI, Accell coil. RPM Air gap manifold, 2 bolt main. Previous owner says it had 10K on crate engine. I did all the before mentioned motor work.
so here is the story.... A couple days ago i got my hands on a holley 670 truck avenger. I currently had been running a road demon i had borrowed that misteriously one day began pouring gas from the boosters. The install went great and when i fired it up with the truckie it was only firing on about 4 cyl.. great, i love it when probloms like this arise.. pulled the plugs, extreamly black and wet. I changed plugs and it ran better but still very rough. This is when i finally decided to get in myself while i was starting it (my roomate was manning the key before while i was in the engine compartment). Got it running and noticed the 0 oil pressure... Pulled the dipstick only to find i had about 2 gallons of gasoline in my crankcase...SWEET!!! Well lucky for me i had wanted to build my extra vortech motor and this definantly gives me the opertunity now. Any suggestions on this situation? I already have to pull the motor or tranny out anyways to get rid of the 2400 stall the previous owner stuck in it. So i figure id clean out the motor and get rid of it now.. Oh and its pouring down rain today... haha let me know what you all think, thanks!
