Thank You all for all the comments, suggestions and ideas - That really helps me alot !
Sounds like I have to be sure that the Cleveland have oil mods done to it. I will try'n figure out what exactly it requires.
And ofcause upgrade to the oilbaffle tray, to keep the oil where it belongs ;-)
As PanteraDoug mention, it's probably because it's haven't been driven much the past 25 years, that the bearings etc. are gone.
I have found a block here in Denmark, that have 50000 miles to it, and have never been bored. That's a good block for me to start with. I will go and see it this weekend.
What are the CHI heads You're talking about Doug ?? Are those the "3V" aluminum heads ?
Are they better than the stock Closed Chamber heads ?
Sounds like I have to cut that crossmember too - Any Pictures of how it was done by the factory ? Would like to make it factory correct, if possible.
Thank You, Guys ! I appreciate Your answers !!
