Engine
On the trip home I lost a
rear main seal and lost most of my oil on the highway. I did manage to
get to a gas station, but I think that contributed to flat spotting
the cam a few hundred miles later. While drivable, it was very noisy
and low performance. I pulled the engine to have it rebuilt which lead
to a mechanical restoration. The engine still had the the original
internal GM parts (bearings were GM date stamped) - validating the
claims of the previous owners. All parts were saved. I decided to
bring it back as a numbers match SS350 engine, since the 1968 327
and SS350 are the same block casting numbers.
