When I was 16 years old a friend knew where there was a 389 short block that someone wanted removed from their carport. I of course went and picked it up. It had a box of parts too. In the box was a pair of '65 GTO valve covers. One had a hole from a pushrod. I had those repaired and re-plated. When I took the short block apart I found two pushrods wrapped around the crank somehow (I don't remember exactly how). Someone had revved that thing to the moon I guess.
