Repower
Time to repower the old 78 V with its original 470. On a trip to the coast engine ran great for 2 days, no start on day 3. At home started checking ...comp. not good leak down test not good. Pulled head, stuck exh. valves & 3 bent rods, A little water in oil.=manifold ( log type) or riser gave out and let water in.
I have a spare 89 3.7lx that we're rebuilding now as replacement. Plan to go with an aluminum 460 head with scorpion roller rockers, now trying to decide which head? probably a less exp. pro comp would do fine, any thoughts from the engine guru's here?
