Just my luck. Three days in and.....

View attachment 128020 I'm pretty sure the bore is ok. I couldn't see or feel anything on it. Since it is summer and I have cars to drive, not fix this one has to go sit in the corner for the summer

There is a highly recommended machine shop a town over that will have no problem rebuilding this.

Meanwhile I'm back to trying to get my wagon fixed for Chrysler Nationals.

See you at Carlisle

engine interchanges of that era

It's important to note that, with the new transmission of 1962, it limits your easy bolt-in swaps to 1961 and earlier.

I'm going to start with rebuilding this block first. Don't want to make it any more complicated than it needs to be.

I'd want to keep the A block as well. The rest of the car looks so good, the correct era block seems like a good way to keep her.
Very nice car BTW.
