Sorry we didnt call...we we're on a mission.
It is clean but needs some elbow grease, a little upholstery work, some of the staples let go in the back seat...nothing too major there though...and the cuddy carpet is pretty run dow,
I would want to change that out.
Fiberglass had a good shine and had no dock rash or blistering anywhere.
Trailer is mint, no issues there.
Done deal?

The 500 efi's have 370 hours and have never been touched.
It is my understanding that the springs need to be done at the 200-300 hrs mark and the head gaskets are a good idea as well.
Am I off in thinking this??

You are over due to have them done. 250 hours and on, you are on borrowed time. Not a super big deal but still a small chunk of change especially if you are not doing it yourself. Head gaskets are optional I think.

From what I know and have heard the 500 Carb Bulldogs had that problem NOT the 500EFIs
the cams they used on the early 500 carb engines had a high lift and would cause water reversion and the valve springs would rust and break.

I have heard of the 500 Carb valvetrain issues as well.
From what I have researched the 500 EFI's have a recommended valve spring change out at something like 200-300 hours as well.
Let me know what you think.
