I finally started and moved my 442

[Psyco Diver 69]

I finally started and moved the 442 after it sitting since december. What surprised me is that she hard oil pressure again, around 45-50lbs not what it nearly what it was for a frozen cold motor. I'm guessing I didn't do nearly as much damage as I did, so I'm going to pull the motor and flip it and check the main and rod bearings, if their good I'm going to remove the heads and check the cylinder walls and if their still good, I'll just replace the cam bearings (which I have already) and reuse the cam if I can, if not the Paw 214/224 cam and lifter set only cost 110 bucks with shipping. I might look into getting Comp cams magnum rocker arm set too. If not I'll pick up my friends engine and swap it in, but if I don't need to I'll swap that motor into my 85 Cutlass.

If everything does turn out good (yeah right!) I will need a higher stall torque converter, somewhere in the 2400-2500 stall range and price is an issue
