Re: My 261 build and discussion thread!

This is the first block I started with. Turned out to have a crack from back to front.



Took it apart and removed the internals. The plan is to reuse the crank and con rods from this block.



This is the 848 head from the damaged block prior to cleaning. Got word back it all perfect and ready to be rebuilt.



This is the other good block i got that I am planning to use if it checks out. #7012. Still measures to be on its original bore.



Strange thing is this block has no provision to select full flow or bypass for the oil. Im just not used to seeing this style of block. I also wish it had the 3 hole mount so i could have used it for a remote filter mount but i will make due.
