When you say "Locked IN" do you mean you can't remove it from the garage and take it to someone to media blast it? I took just the frame and rear...

Hi Robert, My 1953 331 Chrysler had the same set up on the exhaust guides. The replacements did not. The machine shop I use is very familiar...
Why would you choose NOT to replace the gaskets? In a rush? If the old one fails will you replace it or just let it leak? If you would replace it...
Given that any "young" people working on a more modern (modern 1966+) car, would not be welcome on this board, how do you think they see the "OLD...

Yes I could have chosen that approach. The bearing surfaces and cylinder walls had minimal wear. However all the cylinders and the rod/mains were...
