Jerry, Tramp, thanks for the insight and motivation
Haven't done any physical work on the truck or engine lately but have been doing some legwork. I've got 2 leads on a couple local auto machine shops but haven't contacted them yet. I'm awaiting contact info on both.
The plan of attack is to get the head checked out to see if it's serviceable then go from there.
I'm still debateing rebuilding the 216 or just moving up to a 235. Unless a good small block V8 miraculously lands in my lap I've ruled the V8 route out.
This daylight savings time and early sunset has almost got me hibernating....
Dave
