It was worth the visit. I love to see other's carnage first hand, too. I'll do something with the crank, it looks pretty good. Bearings were all in decent shape. You took pretty good care of it until you blew it. Saw a few valve dings in piston tops. Must have had some springs getting weak or you floated them sometime.

Umm...OK.
I already built a 408 & installed it. I just gave the motor to Red for a project he was doing. We knew there might not be any usable parts, but it was the right price for him...free.

I haven't looked them over carefully yet, but I'm sure with a few new valves the heads will work like new.
