Good! 
You may wonder why a novice would take on such a big project. I am mechanically inclined, have good friends with lots of knowledge, and have successfully done all sorts of work on the car. I thought it would be fun to try. Guys have been rebuilding these engines in their garages for 50+ years, so why not me? |
Yep, fall 2023 will be the 50th anniversary of my 1st engine rebuild, a 62 389. It was a ton of fun, absolutely. I have not rebuilt near as many engines as some have on this site though. I've never used an aftermarket crankshaft in any project to date. My next build will be a 428 w/ a stock crankshaft.
