Got the new engine in, I can't put the intake on until I have it fastened to the tranny... So I thought I'd taped off the ports and valley.  Stripping down the old engine...  |

I don't even know what a 389 go to. I'm no mechanic, just a grease money that takes stuff apart and tries to put it back together...  But I'm pretty good at drinking beer. |

Between you and Mike I know I would learn everything I needed to know.. It'll be after the first of the year but I'll get a rebuild kit and find a good machine shop to bore it out for me.. I'll let ya know.. (sorry for the highjack)  |
