Mighty 390 update

Well, back on memorial day weekend I aquired a 390 to start project mighty 390.  I figured I would give yall an update on what s going on.  Some of you may have been wondering and some of yall may not care either way you are getting an update.   So last night on the way home I was feeling like crap but,  I needed to get down to Mills Hot Rods and see what I had got myself into.  When I first pulled the valve covers the absence of burnt or  old motor oil was a big relief.  But , the previous owner had use a heavy paraffin based oil so this was coated on the rocker arm shafts but no big deal, my sure shot and some mineral spirits will clean that right up.  Now on to the intake manifold.  Anyone that is reading this that has ever pulled an intake on an FE knows that they almost need the engine hoist just to take this part off.  So got the intake off and no broke lifters, yippee.  Man at this point I am extactic,  I got this engine for nothing and it is looking promising to this point.  Lets pull the heads shall we?  Well this is always the part that scares me on an engine.  You never know what is going to be inside there other than a piston.  Pulled the right bank and no water but .030 over pistons that look good with good crass hatching in the cylinders.  Right head same way.  Well we decided to stop there at the end because I wanted to let the oil drain all night before I pulled the pan off.  Lets just hope that the rod and main journals on the crank don’t look like the top of a 2X4.
