Bullshit. For the past i dunno how my car has been weak on the power. Come to find out i was runnin off seven cylinders. So here is what i think happened. When the cam was put in my car new lifters werent installed-asswipe! So the lifter seized, causing my rocker stud to push out, and throwing off a perfect valve adjustment. So it ran like shit, not even drivable. So after spending 400+ bucks on parts that were not the source of my problem (didnt know what the problem was for a while) and having to quit my job bc i had no car i went back at it again. Unfortunately if a stud comes out of the seat on your head there is nothing you can do but put in a screw in stud, or replace the head. So to get the stud out i had to drill it out, well unfortunately being on an angle i drilled too far to the left:( Lets just say i wont be able to get a stud in the hole. So now i have to remove my exhaust manifold, alternator, and then i can pull the head. So i will be searching local junkyards for a 350v8 head since i cant pay 500 bucks for each one. Oh and last check from my job they cant find it, i went back and he said he would get it the next morning and would call me when he got, havent got a call back yet! That was last week sometime. So now i have to find a ride back over there.......sigh BS:(

holy shit man, punctuation is your friend.. lol..

anyhow goto pull a part , whole motors there are only like 125 for a V8 so heads have to be cheap... plus a 350 has basically the same build for the last 30+ years.
