I found a nice 65 on the PY forum. Seller sent pics and was very honest about the car's condition. Bought car with low oil pressure and it was priced as such.
I have someone rebuilding the 462 for me, block had been " steel abraded " before the last rebuild and some of the steel beads had not been cleaned out of the oil passages. Slight scoring of the cylinder bores and crankshaft journals but the machine shop has cleaned that up. Cam looked good but some of the lifters showed signs of not rotating with resultant wear patterns.
Looking for a good street cam for a 462 with 6x heads, ram air exhaust manifolds and we have a 66 tri power we are going to install in place of the 4bbl that came with the car.
Thanks to all on the forum for the input. I am really excited to get the car on the road.
Mike
