i swear, whoever was monkeying around with this truck prior to me should have their butt kicked up and down! i got the exhaust manifolds off, and the intake manifold off, plus some other goodies all in about an hour. Why? Nothing was torqued down! a slight twist of the wrench and i could get the rest of the bolt out with my fingers! im probably going to stick with the motor that is in there- 350's are to common for my taste. i love doing the unthinkable with the unimaginable! unless i find a serious flaw with the block or something. whatever it is; even with 2 year old oil, gas and no water, and a really bad missfire and smoking like puff the magic dragon and a cracked rear axle carrier bearing- it still had some major balls! i figure with a few new parts, a rebuild and someone that is willing to take the time to do it right, it will be a great truck! have to work tomorrow, but hopefully it will only be a half day and i can start taking the heads off. cant wait to see what the other numbers tell me! oh! and as for the numbers on the heads them selfs are they only on the passenger side head? have a great weekend!
