Low fluid indicator on all the time. Constant bubbles in the radiator smell like fuel. Minuscule amounts of water and oil out tail pipes. Starts hard, pushes fluid out of radiator, runs fine, heat out of vents even with air in lines. Will eventually over heat even if running cool for awhile.

When I take this apart, as I see it, there is no point to spend the resources to bring the thing back as stock ..... Idk, talk some sense into me. My essential dream before has been 355 with all fresh internals, which would only make sense if Im going to tear her apart, bore, and buy new pistons. So why not sleeve and boost? It's been a spirited daily driver for its whole life, and at low PSI could still be, but something like this would make it competition ready.

Big project I know.

Shouldn't need to sleeve an iron block unless a cylinder is damaged and at that point you're better off finding another block to build.

Boost works well for a DD if it's planned. You can build a very mild motor that will cruise around like a stocker and still put down enough power to surprise people. Just do plenty of research as it's never as simple as bolting something in place and turning the key (unless you have lots of money).
