Anything worth keeping on a 71 350?
Well, the new motor is about to go in, and I'm just about done stripping all the necessary pieces off the old block before it goes to the scrapyard. #1 con rod brutalized the front of the pan (as well as some of the lower block from what I can see through the hole) before self-ejecting, so I'm pretty sure the piston siezed and the block is worthless. The damage was due to a lack of oil, but it was still running when I shut it down.
The stock heads are still intact and fine - are they worth keeping? The stock intake is also intact, but one of the t-stat housing bolts siezed and broke off - is it worth the effort? Stock 71 valve covers? Anything else I should save? Thanks, Eric |
