I'm with you grumpy. I love the father daughter build (I have 2 daughters). I love the big block and would like to see it saved. It's just that I am the master of "good money after bad". I just want him to diagnose the situation completely before spending.
It seems the motor had good compression 4 years ago, and hasn't been driven that much since. So that is a good sign. If it wasn't smoking bad and wasn't knocking, then certainly a timing chain replacement would be well worth the cost.
