Re: ENGINE - to Scrap or not to scrap
Cleaned up and checked the heads for cracks it looks like I've a crack free head - just a crack in the block...

Re: ENGINE - to Scrap or not to scrap
indeed... i initially brought it for the Head so i could port and open up the head for breathing/bigger valves. but thought it would be easier to build a whole new engine out of the truck so no down time and swap it over.
its cleaned up good, no visible cracks i should say - need to get it magna fluxed still to be sure. Its had 2 of the exhaust valve guides replaced but thats all. just need to deal with the block issue ..... ![]() |

Re: ENGINE - to Scrap or not to scrap
What about first getting a piece of scrap cast iron to practice on for amperage, type of rod etc.

Re: ENGINE - to Scrap or not to scrap
did you check the top side of the head? specifically by the left front head bolt hole and where the t/stat adapter bolts.

Re: ENGINE - to Scrap or not to scrap
It would appear that there is something of a strong UK presence in the 60-66 forum
![]() I've not long pulled a good strong 230 (pretty sure it is not a 250 and didn't bother to check) out of my '63 as I picked up a 292. It's on RnS. I saw that engine on eBay if it's the one I was thinking of as it's got the correct pulleys for power steering? Was in Bristol I think?

Hows it going! Ha ha ha I've already checked it out on RnS. I know the 292 your talking about (blue one) i turned it down earlier that morning (as i just wanted a swap out swap in) with no messing........... and.... yep - one on Ebay is the one thats now in parts I'm my lock up. had the double grooved pulley for P/S thats right. Ah you win some you loose some, was a good price and maybe we can save the block. yeah theres a few UK guys on here - you'll probably recognise the user names from other forums - Grizz, Martin, Paul, Andy, Ian, JP and Danny and other i may have forgotten/not met( on line) If you here of a 6 block going drop me a line please - take is easy Dan |
