[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3743902, member: 15054"] I knew by the description that the engine was probably toast. I fired it up and sure enough had a couple cylinders not working and the combustion pressure going into the radiator tells me the head or gasket is busted. Sounded like maybe a cam lobe down also. I bought it in that condition and almost got the engine out of it so i can tear it down and see what I am working with. If you wanted a driver with minimal work this one is not it. I knew that though. I will make it run very good and either keep it or sell it. I will drive it for a bit and see what MPG i can get and see if it pulls my pontoon to the lake better than the 57 chevy. It is going to get ported heads and a 268H cam on a 110 LSA advanced quite far probably on a 101 or 102 intake centerline. Help build cylinder pressure down low to get this heavy chevy moving. It has the 14 bolt rearend and I have not checked the gear ratio yet. [/QUOTE]
