Thanks for approving my membership.

Just about to start building a 351w for my 1993 lightning.

It used to leak about a quart of oil every 50 miles, finally got sick of it and yanked it out.

There was a broken timing cover bolt in the block since I purchased the truck, I tried removing but it went south.

Snapped off the easy out, drilled through water jacket. Probably junk now.

Got a spare 1994 block from the junkyard last year during pick and pull 50% off labor day sale because I knew about that bolt.

Just got it back from the machine shop. I won't be changing too much beyond converting the truck to a roller cam

Dang, you can see where that quart of oil was going! That block was very well protected from rust and corrosion!

Score on that block.
