Orange 68........
Yep, it's the same guy. You see my name, Tx Firefighter, well, it should be Hurst Tx Firefighter. He lives south of the fire station. I went down this morning to look at the 292. Whole story...he raced someone, the engine got real hot, pressurizes the radiator as soon as you start it, and the engine knocks. Something amiss inside it for sure. You'd have to hope it is a bad head gasket, but the knock thing is troubling. He also says the harmonic balancer wiggles around like crazy. Felt and looked tight to me, so maybe the snout of the crank broke...I dunno. Long story short, he offered to give me the engine for free. He's keeping the tranny for another project. needs it out of his way. He has no garage and it will get rained on in his back yard.
