I guess I restore them rather than rebuild them. I spend more time than I should in getting them cleaned up inside and outside. By the way.. a 304 will start and run on just the even numbered cylinders in case a dumbass might forget to hook half the plug wires up.

It cracks me up how all the info they need is out there for free, and they insist on buying a book. I guess it's just so it can sit on the shelf, next to their AMC "Hot Wheels" collection.

Ya know, with all those DONE projects, one would think he could get some of his own projects DONE. That was just of the engine builds. I did git a lot of work done on my Cabin and let's not forget my little side job of battling Prostate Cancer last year.
