A few months back Hot Rod magazine ran a facebook post looking for cars with drivability issues. I sent in my request mentioning the problems that my 442 has been having with detonation and asked if they would help. Little did I know that they would be calling me back. On my way home from work tonight I get a call from an unknown number, it's Marlan Davis. I pulled over and we talk for a few minutes and he mentions that my car has qualified for a free tuning session at a shop that they use often that is located about 50 miles north of my house.
The problem is my motor is sitting on a stand in the garage with 3 bad rod bearings. They are not looking for project cars or major repairs so this disqualified my car within 5 minutes. We did talk for another 10 minutes in which he helped me with potential problems that I may be having. When it was all said and done, he did mention that once the engine is back in the car and running, it would be worth a call back to him and they may help get it sorted out.
Now all I have to do is come up with some money to get the engine back together and give it another shot.
