I just had an engine catastrophe which broke a rocker arm, bent a valve, bent the valve guide and cracked the head. It should be fixed and going again once the heads are redone. While they are apart I'm porting them for the turbo.
Meanwhile I'm working on my other agony, the mustang.
Yes I am certifiably nuts for restoring 2 vehicles at one time.
