Thanks for all the information guys! Have been struggling with the decision
of putting out the money to rebuild it and put it in my 55, when I get to
that stage. Right now the cab is on 4 jack stands in my garage, so it will
be awhile. I found parts to rebuild, I estimate it will cost about 1500
dollars to complete. A little pricey for a stock engine, but those valve
covers Haunt Me! How unique it would be.
