The intake valve on #1 is stuck, this was the bent rod. The exhaust valve on #3 is very slow. I think because of #1 I'm going to have to pull the head. Any damage to the valves and I will end up going with plan "B"

I have a line on a 1965 305E that came out a month ago to do a SBC swap. The owner's mechanic wants it out of his shop. The price is now at $300. Plan "B" would be to pick up the 305E and swap the motor.

From there I'll decide on rebuilding the original. I have a set of 20 over pistons I traded for.
