390 rebuild
By Scott - 05/08/2003 3:12:34 PM; IP 128.172.217.110
Last weekend my 68 Ford Galaxie over heated on the interstate. The radiator was dry and there were no major leaks. I have been told I either blew a head gasket or there is a crack in the heads or block. Since the engine has about 120k miles on it and there were already some oil leaks and worn teeth on the flywheel I have started to take the engine apart. I am planning to take the block and heads to a machine shop to get cleaned and checked for cracks.

I am following the 68 ford shop manual but I was wondering if anyone had any additional tips or advice.

Thanks,

Scott
