I got it apart the lifters we're all shot the cam wore dents in them. For curiosity sake I checked the grind number and here's what I came up with lol the previous owner was an idiot

I'm surprised I was able to tune it to run. Oh it had stock valve springs in it

Almost couldn't have gotten it more wrong. Hope it goes back together good bud.

7/8 cylinders isn't bad, that's still a passing grade! Hell, grade it on the curve around here and it's highest honors!

That blaster is frickin' awesome!

ItsI been a long day! I don't recommend towing anything with a truck that has no brake controller and runs on 7 cylinders but in a pinch I've been known to do some pretty outlandish things. I received a very important delivery today and after work I scrambled moving trailers and picking things up and moving things trying to get done what I needed to do.

I can just see the guy I bought it from now I'll put that motor together that I did going to run good cuz I put one a domed are big camshafts in it

My neighbor steve came over and I showed him the lifters springs and cam specks he gave me props for being able to make it run at all every lifter was convex on the bottom one was blown apart and another was in bad shape the retainer clip on top with sideways in the lifter and the plunger was partially compressed. Fortunately there were no bent pushrods I have no idea how? Maybe because it had stock valve springs with exhaust valve rotators
But I digress the new cams in and the intake manifold is on I'll finish buttoning it up tomorrow break it in and see how it goes
