65 tbird 390fe engine woes!!
Hi all of you tbird lovers,Iam a newbie to this site but been lurking around reading for the last 2months.Seems to be a lot of experience on this site which is excellent by the way,PLEASE help me out !I have a 65 and I took it to a shop to get the exhaust manifold gasket replaced but the mech said that he heard what sounds like a the rod bearings going up in the bottom end and said that the motor was going up and weak and that I need a rebuild for 3000.00-4000 and that it was useless to fix the right side manifold leak.My stomach just dropped what a blow I thought it was from the manifold leak a faint knock when motor is reved is that about right I only driven it for about 100 miles to just see how it feels great to drive has a 133000 on it,390 6.4 4bl.Just cant really trust people now anybody know a trusting mech in md.Thanks in advance
