Gentlemen,
Have you every hit a snag in a project that made you seriously think about just selling the whole thing? I bought a clean 78 Magnum with a trunk full of rare GT parts about a years ago as a runner but the 360 was very sick, So what started as a cam swap, carb and intake swap morphed into buying a 408 short block, having a set of RHS LAX heads built. Everything was going great and building momentum then I hurt my shoulder and could touch the car for months.
Once I could work on the car I mocked up the long block and bang look at that, the pistons in the short block are for open chamber heads only and don't work with my LAX heads! in the long run I know this is not that big of a problem and could be fixed a few different ways, But between work and storm cleanup after Irma I feel like it going to be another 6 months before get the SOB together and stabbed back into the car.
Had a neighbor offer me 5k for the whole kit and caboodle and I really thought about it as I could use a new 4x4, I know that I would regret selling it but it is tempting! How many of you have been through this song and dance, they are never done are they? Thanks for listening to me rant, please share some stories will happy endings or the ones that you wish you had never let go!
