Good morning guys! I'm looking for a 216 replacement for my engine. She started up this morning with a rod knock. Any help would be appreciated once again. Looking for someone in florida, close to broward county or palm beach, but will drive anywhere in florida.

thanks

jack
Dear Jack;

If it just started to knock; Chances are you could just 'change out' that rod & tighten up the rest. Or, replace all, rings & valve job (in frame).

This is a lot faster/cheaper than changing the engine.

Good luck, John M.....

Dang! I JUST had a 216 hauled to the scrap yard that I would have GIVEN you. Timing is everything I guess.
But NOW might be a good time on considering a 235 replacement instead of a 216 if it does not have to be BONE STOCK original.
