I can't thank mark enough for working together on this....he does great work....So we are on part two....lol....so engine is out....that is another story....lol....I took 5gals of actitone....and hit the bilge....coating of oil is a understatement .....I sanded the bilge and used rustoleum with hardener.....used it before and worked great.....

So first problem....heads are frozen to the head studs....after a few days....got the heads up enough to see the water jackets are shot...in my opinion as well as the builder...welding was not an option....problem two....block was cracked between lifter bores..also jessel rockers from afr magnum heads dont fit brodix heads..😡😡😡...so long story short....rebuild went to alot of new expensive parts...$$$$....so we built a 582.....should be around 800 hp.....I will update more when we get to the next step......
