Your mileage may vary, but most of what ails a Gen III smallblock has to do with plastic parts in the top end and odd valvetrain design, not the bottom end. Not completely rebuilding the bottom end may end in tears, but at least then you’ll get to laugh at me. Next installment, we put Humpty Dumpty back together again with parts to address the weaknesses identified above.

Legality is so overrated.
Pretty much. From James Madison:
The internal effects of a mutable policy are still more calamitous. It poisons the blessings of liberty itself. It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood: if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes, that no man who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow.
Very entertaining read. Looking forward to the next update!
Very interested in the project. Hoping to do the same thing in my 2000 Discovery some time over the next year or 2. Fortunately, I don’t have any emissions requirements.
