Previous owner Had valve job done with hard seats and such he never drove it so heads only have about 5,000 miles so they need very little work {machinist checked and confirmed]. However he did not touch bottom end Rings and piston have 149,000 miles thats my guess for oil consumption, but still...

OK Bruzilla I do listen and thanks. Found out by machinist bottom end never been apart @149,690 miles, PO did valve job & seats on heads thats it. I was cruising 100mph 2 weeks ago used a quart of oil in 2 hundred miles. So final decision made by level heads not mine was too rebuild 383 with...

Bruzilla I will be the first to admit I aint right. I guess I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. In a couple of years I probably give it to my son anyway [ 2.94 gets better mileage runs lower rpm] Thanks buddy

Hey Moper when I was younger I ran 180 mph with no motor at all but I did use a parachute to slow down. Maybe thats what messed me up. I know you understand LOL
