Re: 1966 "find and fix"

Look at that interior!
Clean it, get it running, and drive it.
Nothing more.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"

MAJOR SET-BACK!!!

Decided to take off valve cover before I tried to turn engine over. WOW, what a nasty mess, I never dreamed it would rust like that! Rust particles were an inch deep around valve springs. I vacuumed up and blew off the rust and sprayed with blaster. I then removed lifter cover, no better there.
I would really like to rebuild this motor, but at this point I don't even think it would be possible to disassemble it.
If it was hot tanked do you think it might come apart ?
Pics - not for the squeamish LoL !

If you sealed it up and filled it with vinegar. Maybe it'll loosen up?

WOW !! Wonder if truck has been under water in a flood. Check to see if transmission and rear end are the same way.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"

That definitely needs to come apart now. I would pull the intake/exhaust and remove the head. If the cylinders look like that, pitted cylinder walls, you might as well give up on that engine. Pits can be so deep it wont clean up with a .030 bore, but then again maybe the bores didn't rust ? If you do rebuild it have block and head Magnufluxed for cracks. Water can crack anything when frozen. Its very odd to see rust on the outer part of the head like that though, its almost like it was poured into the engine. I hope its OK.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"

It is weird, the rust is almost like sand. It is dry, it just vacuumed up. The rockers were not pitted at all, after I sprayed blaster on them the rust seemed to just rub off. It was suggested that maybe it had a blown head gasket that caused it to rust up like that. I deliver parts for a local auto parts store, I am going to check with the machine shop for their opinion.
Thanks for the offer on the 292, but that is a little far for me.

Crud...I've never seen them that bad! lol. While yer at it ya might consider taking a flashlight and looking at the cylinder walls...and maybe even pull the pan to see what shape the bottom end is in...Either someone put a ton of water in there....or I don't know what the heck! lol. Jese! I have a 292 that sat in moisture for 13 years and runs great. You could buy a crate engine 250 and call it good. Re-paint it the oem green and no one but you would know the difference.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"

I would think a good machine shop could hot tank it and get it apart for a rebuild, I would be worried about the cylinder walls getting pitted...

Hope it turns out for the best...

This might change your plan to start with if the engine is not salvageable. But do a V8 swap and keep everything else as you planned...just a thought...

Re: 1966 "find and fix"

I talked to several people today, a couple were mechanics. Two of the mechanics thought it was sludge in the motor from inferior motor oil that dried up over the years, and drew moisture. I am going to pull it and tear it down and go from there.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"

Drained the old oil today. Probably was a quart, maybe two of antifreeze in the oil. I am hoping maybe it is only a blown head gasket. I also pulled the distributor, finally a little good news, the oil pump shaft was clean, just covered with oil. The old oil looked red in the sunlight for some reason. Oh well the saga continues......

Re: 1966 "find and fix"

VERY nice truck, and I'm looking forward to seeing it running around here, since you don't live that far away. I hope you're able to get it running without too much more trouble. You may get by just pulling the head off, seeing how everything else looks, and going from there.
Again, congrats on finding this truck!

Yep, I remember talking with you and Fred one of the last times I stopped by your store a while back, that you were looking for one of these trucks. You sure did find a nice one!

Re: 1966 "find and fix"

Update (kind of): Haven't worked on the truck any, to many irons in the fire. I did pick up a set of rally's for it from Specialty Retail here on the boards (work with him). I am planning to raise the roof on an old shed I have to put my trailer and tractor in, then I will have room to tear into the 66. I hope to tear into the motor as soon as I get the shed done this summer.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"

The reason I am not getting nothing done on the 66' is because I am working on this shed, so that I have room to work on the truck. Also my dad is 97 yrs young, and his health is going down hill, so I have been spending a lot of time with him.
