301 gets a new home
I'm retiring the Vega's 140, going to swap in a fully built poncho 301 with turbo trans.
That is, it was fully rebuilt ten years ago, and got shelved with the turbo 350after maybe three thousand miles.
It's just a fun little project, no budget- I'll buy whatever I'll need to do the job.
I've managed to brow beat myself into lubing the cam, at least. I really don't want to pull the heads to check the bores for rust, but maybe I should.
It has been stored under an awning, exhaust ports and carb covered with foil tape, and plugs in. I remember some years back, I pulled the plugs and sprayed WD-40 (I think) into the cylinders, and giving it a spin, then put the plugs back in. Every now and again I'll give the front pulley a nudge, just to be sure it hasn't locked up.
All advice is welcome, but this IS the motor that is going in..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Just in case......Happy Birthday Richard. .
