Going to swap out plugs and loosen the rockers just for the Woodward Dream Cruise...

Yup... Carb'ed Windsor with a big shot plate on it... And the C-4 is a stocker with TCI valve body... Well the high gear is toasted....

Oh yeah... Stock driveshaft too... With stock u-joints for the 80's... :eek:

Has custom forged diamonds...

headgaskets are cometics... Might be a holed piston or a toasted gasket... Not sure yet... We are going to tear into the car later after the dream cruise... I probally will once I get it back here in one of my warehouses and slowly start disassembling her...
