Been Around the Block
Picked up a 72 ( stripped chassis with ownership) and 77 GT 550's.. Both are complete and both are seized, the 72 was run by a PO with a fresh set of pistons installed backwards *sigh* and supposedly the rings caught the ports, pictures of that disaster to follow once I get the head and barrels off. The 77 sat outside for "only five" years and is seized from sitting - I hope. I also have a race chassis from a mid 70's t500 that will be donating its front suspension, wheels (alloy) and brakes.. First on the to do list is assessment of engine damage and the search for pistons and rings.. Any suggestions or recommendations on vendors is appreciated, this isn't my first smoker but its my first rebuild of one...
