It appears that the water leak maybe the least of my problems. My mechanic pulled the heads and found 3 pistons scuffing the cyclinder walls, several of the valves were touching the piston tops (enough that the valves have small burrs on the top of the valve stems). We don't know where the water leak is but it is confined to one cylindr. He is sending out the questionable head to have it pressure and vacuum tested. Regardless it looks like the motor is coming out. The cylinders are already bored out to .030. I guess I am now confronted with what to do for a short block, since it is already bored out .030. It is a 427 SO but I don't know if I'm up to paying for another SO so does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.
