I had my 302 longblocked with all new parts, pistons, cam, crank shaft, valves, freeze plugs, ect. It took 2 weeks for the long block rebuild but worth it. Total cost with a new dist. cleaning-oil pan, valve covers, $1,550.00, (Parkland National Auto) Now the tranny (C4) is slipping in 2nd and hesitating before going into 3rd (waits untill 43 MPH,

, Not good), I put a new filter and fluid when I did the engine but now it's time for a fix, she (Sally) just sits in the garage looking pretty so there is no hurry
