I understand. I was just saying if the bottom half will hold up or not. Maybe for quite a while. I don't know. Will be a nice setup.
little irrelevant story.. I acquired a 62' 390 caddy motor that came out of hearse. Super clean on wear but was sludged' up from low miles and low rpm. I let it go because it was taking space, and I know I am a flathead guy. But dang!!! Learned later the guy let it sit out in the rain and ruined the block.
douchedag as he would said he'd use it.
I should have kept it... water under the bridge I guess.
