Hey Dave, thanks for the quick response. The engine fires right up and idles good. The only problem is from time to time it will bend a pushrod so I thinking the lift on the cam is to much for the heads. I'm not sure what you mean by " the pistons clunking the valves". I just added a photo to the garage section of this forum, go check it out and let me know what you think!! The interior is in bad shape but it wouldn't be a project car if I had nothing to do to it right!
