Many of the 216” had babbitt main bearings which is a lost art on replacing those puppies, they were not inserts and had to poured in place.


My 49’ ¾-T 235 had an early Offenhauser aluminum twin single barrel manifold with two Rochester’s. It was a strong runner, wished I still had that set up be worth some $$

My granddad taught me how to pour babbitt bearings and I still do 'em for locals from time to time.
