Thanks. Hopefully this one checks out. I’m anxious to put it all together!

 

[The_Eagles’_Nest]

Let me know. Hopefully you get your engine sorted out.

I’ve already taken another block to the machine shop. Should know something soon.,

Oh ok. Cool!

I tried posting it on this thread but It didn’t take or something

Well, kinda disappointed in this. It is a little beefier with two ribs but, what a rough casting! It will have to be worked over extensively just to be usable. Unfortunately they’re the only game in town.

This is rougher than a night in jail. For starters, these exhaust stud holes are 3/8”-16 and mine are 7/16”-14. I’ll drill and tap them. This area needs some porting as well. I will say, it’s much thicker than the original. Even if the half of the added thickness is towards the inside. I’ll gasket match and blend as best I can. If I were rich I’d have it hone extruded!

Just a magnet..

It’s not on the deck, if that’s where it should be.

Did you ever find a vin stamp on the slanty motor?

To re-cap:
Original engine bad.(cracked block)

Another engine found and at machine shop being checked out.

As for myself.. I’m sick,sober,sorry,
broke, disgusted, and sad.
But un-deterred!

The intake and exhaust manifolds are the weak spots on an otherwise very tough engine. When I was looking for parts for my cars, every time I found a /6 in a yard, both were taken, almost on every one I saw.

I agree. I’m pretty experienced with the /6. Why anyone would go to the trouble of putting a used one on is beyond me. Hard enough to get a new one to seal up!

I gasket matched and blended it a little. It was pretty rough. I might touch it up some more when I have more time.
Go ahead and take a moment to appreciate the genius of my dust collection system!

Damn thats a rough *** casting-looks like it was poured from a home foundry not the factory! Great work smoothing it out and thumbs up to the vac system.

Got to make you wonder what the casting looks like in areas that you can't see, or can see, but cannot access easily to fix. Looking good anyway!

I thought the same thing. I believe it will flow as good as the original now. Fortunately it’s not a performance build!
