Finally happened
Well,today was the day. I have been running the same 383 motor for 7 years. Lots of runs with and without spray.I have a feeling that the dipstick jumping out and the oil squirting out means it is time to bury it.

Pete, I for one will attend the memorial service 
Can't wait to hear the sound of that 406 when you finish it 
I'm glad you got so much service out of her, looks like you have a winter project cut out for you, good luck!!!

Thanks for the kind words guys. I got pretty lucky. I was able to make the 2 hr drive home(with the help of 2 qts of oil). Still ran 11.70 @113 on the run it popped. Could be much worse. The new 406 is already assembled and on the stand. Just have to get my lazy butt in gear and get it swapped. Lucky for us we get 8 months of snow and cold 
so I won't be bored this January!
