[TPR] Mach I engine progress

Hi all,
Today, Sam and I attacked the 351C donor for the Mach I.  Yuck, is the 
word for the day.  Thick sludgy and smelly oil.  A distributor that is 
really stuck, a cam gear that refuses to come off, and a cam that won't 
come out.  Small problems overall, but the engine turns.  My guess right 
now is that this will need 0.030 over at minimum but we'll try for 0.010 
if we can.  I've not measured anything yet.

We still need to get the pan off, rods/pistons out and remove the 
crank.  Then we'll work on getting the cam and distributor out.

In several months, we need to compare these shots against the pretty 
finished product.  :)
