yeah yeah yeah... I see your (il)logic and second it. That's why I'm 
gonna go stare at them in the yard! And peruse for 1 bbl TBIs too... and 
of course the occasional Rambler...

I'm thinking of tearing down my NOS rebuilt 195.6OHV shortblock I bought 
this year... see if the bearings are still good, and pop out all the 
pistons. I should check the deck for flatness, buy new rings (I'm sure 
they'r eall unspring by now) and start to build a new motor...

The one in the car runs great, but it leaks all over. Every time I've 
done the work to stop leaks like that I ended up yankin the motor within 
a year or so fur a rebuild. I'm learning to stop weastin my time! 
Pulling it "soon" would be smart -- it's running fine, documented 
compression, etc, so it would make a fine core to sit in storage for The 
Future.
