aaron, i've been thinking about you selling your car. just some thoughts here. if you're going to get out of the hobby then sell. if your're thinking about staying in the hobby maybe think about these things: is the body in good shape and solid? pictures look good! is the chassis good (suspension, brakes, rear axle, etc.)? are the electricals good? is the transmission good? if all these things are good then all you need to do is address the engine stuff. buying another car "already done" is usually a fantasy can of worms. people sell their cars for a reason. most good reliable cars stay with their owner.

maybe just cleve off the junk that ups the misery index. contrary to these websites and magazines you don't have to have roller cams, alum heads, lumpy cams, sloppy trannies and all the silly paraphernalia that limits reliability and enjoyment. and, speaking of limits what are your's? staying within ones limits can be a wise choice; i do! that car really looks good and would make one pretty cruiser. think about simplifying what you have so you can get on the road instead of buying someone else's headache.

So just for shits and giggles im thinking of fabbing my own atomizer plate to give me an extra 50 horsepower. If it works, I'll sell them for $100 a pair to my fbbo family.

Its a solid car with good parts that ive upgraded over the last few years to make it a reliable cruiser. But ever since I replaced the cam and lifters and timing chain ive had nothing but oil leaks around the timing chain cover, then had a incident where I lost a lot of trans fluid from hoses that wasn't tightened all the way, then had a couple fan bolts came loose and dug themselves into the radiator. And the crankshaft pulley was loose. And when I went to break in the cam I had a fire in the engine compartment from oil leaking from the drivers side valve cover onto the header . Come to find out the headers were glowing red from either running too lean or timing. But like a so called friend told me im no mechanic and shouldn't be working on my car cause according to him I dont have a clue to what im doing. Funny thing is, I did all the work myself without any help.

We all screw up from time to time; had my share. Keep on wrenching just stay within your limits.

Changing a cam in the car and not having leaks is sort of an art. Done it a bunch of times. Iron heads actually make swapping easier. Big cams are a misery if you don't understand how to deal with them. Keep it simple at first and grow into it. I've got a 69 r/ t with a stock 440 and a 65 coronet with a modified 440. Each have their pro's and con's.

Thank you for the encouraging words. Not everyone can be a expert mechanic, and i wouldn't trust this so called friend to build a motor especially when hes running a .620 lift cam with less than 9.5 compression. And when I told him those single spring valve springs that are on the heads are most likely getting worse over time. He had the gall to say they should be fine since he doesn't have a lot of miles on them even so hes revved it up more than a few times. But then again, I dont care since its not my motor.

spring fatigue can be a moving target. the harder you work them (fast rate cams) the quicker they go, but spring material can be a factor too. i prefer chrome silicone for my street stuff but i don't do these modern grinds.
