AMNEN ON THAT ONE!!!!

get used to the friends giving you crap. i get it from friends, family, random
people at shows, you name it. im another one of the FEW people interested in
these motors. im building an aluminum block 196. 

im thinking ill rebuild the cast iron motor, and wrap it up in plastic. wait,
on second thought, is that such a good idea? with new rings, in fresh bores,
sitting for who knows how long till i need it? i have gotten these motor
swaps down on these cars. WAY easy to do. the little info i have found on
these aluminum engines, claims they are even worse for popping head gaskets.
im siding with tom j. to do all possible for this motor. i did find some
indian head head gasket sealer. will buy a couple bottles tomorrow when i go
to town. i need to get a couple head gaskets for the aluminum block, and i
need 2 head gaskets for the c.i. block also. i like to have atleast 1 sitting
on the shelf. getting everything steel cleaned up, painted. taking the al
block to the shop tomorrow. HOPEFULLY my fav shop is open tomorrow. i cant
remember his hours. block is gettin hot tanked, deck surfaced, and check the
bore alingment. i will take the head also, and have him make sure it is flat
still. i discovered it isnt a NOS head. its an AMC remanufactured head. it
had a couple cracks that wre fixed, and looks to have been surfaced. who
knows how long ago, and how i was stored. arp studs, drilled t-stat, smoothed
head, and some other ideas i have and going to do more checking on ideas
before i post about them.
