Big update time:
Mary's engine is f*#ked!

Well not really.
The jackclown who "rebuilt" this engine failed to degree the cam (I assume) so the pistons absolutely destroyed the valves and vice versa. Also, something got into #8 and heavily pitted the bore. So basically, the only way to do this right is to rebuild it entirely.

That brings me to my final update for this thread (for now). For various reasons, I'm going to stop work on Mary, at least for a while. My sincerest apologies to those who watched and enjoyed this thread, and thanks to you all for the encouragement. It is now time for my other project that I've been hinting at for a long time. The Blue Moose is going to get upgraded to how I've always imagined it. This includes fixing the body, a 4-speed conversion and the kicker,
A 522 stroker.
Well, that's the plan at least.

Sorry buddy... I would have to step away for a minute too... you have enough other cool things to work on while you plan this out.

It's baaacckkk.
What can I say? I'm a glutton for punishment .
I am also very bored waiting for my new car to get here. I bet one of you astute FCBOnly'ers can guess what I bought. It was posted here.
I decided to fabricate my own floor and save replacement floor for a later date, if need be.
Before:

After (Absolutely no rust remains):

One side down, one to go.

Very old school and solid repair... I like it...replacement pans are nice looking, but only really count for perfectionists who are expecting serious judging in the future... a little carpet and undercoating and it's good as new.
