Stan and group;  I saw your reply to Neil about a sludged up  motor.  I just 
got done refurbishing a 66 383 hp with 42 k  miles. Was a little old lady car 
that ran really good. It was exactly  as Stan described.  The innards were 
pretty clean but had about an eighth  inch of sludge on the rockers, springs and 
push rods.  There were heavier  pockets of gunk in the valley and heads where 
the oil accumulates.  I  pulled the heads and cleaned out the valley, taking 
care not to let  anything fall into the motor.  Put in new valve seals and a 
timing set  along with a Roadrunner cam.  Also replaced core plugs with brass 
and a new  cam plug.  
 
  I need to run something through the motor to clean up the rest of  the 
gunk, but have to break in the cam first, I guess.  Will running the  atf method 
hurt a fresh cam (after the break in) or should I get a couple  of thousand 
miles on it first?  Any other suggestions on cleaning the  engine interior?  The 
383 is just a back up motor for my 451 and will be  bagged and tagged after 
the break in and cleaning.    Sorry for  the long post.    Joe
