So.......I put together a 440 to stuff in one of the project cars littering the joint because I'm tired of pushing the damn things. It didn't even qualify as a half assed rebuild, just clean it up, run a flex hone through it and new rings. It was a well abused motor with an unknown history.
Long story short, it put it in the car, fired it up with a Craigslist carb (you know where this is going) and due to an internal fuel leak, immediately washed out the rings. I pulled the motor and proceeded to tear it down. Again.
I was so pissed that when it was done, I built this to break them in outside of the car.
