1980 Pontiac LeMans Station Wagon - G-T-faux (stuck with it, and can't shake it... like a bad case of herpes)

I didn't realize the iron block was 100 pounds heavier. I never looked it up.

Went panning for gold and unfortunately found it. Glitter. Some light stuff in the oil, a couple of minor slivers on the drain plug, and more obvious bits poured out of the filter. Mostly non-ferrous. The filter media is currently sitting on some paper towel so I can more closely examine it. She dead. Going to toss some cheap oil and filter on it to keep it mobile for the Summer - I'll finish up the Monte and then blow them both apart. Maybe, I'll start building the 4.8L to celebrate Canada Day?

Just get the car, yank the engine, slap it in the wagon, then you'll have a Hell Tiger.

Don't laugh. I almost put a late model Hemi in the Monte.
