Well, scrap that block..... Cracked in 4 headbolt to water jacket places in the center and 1 very nasty crack from one vavle seat toward the cylinder. What makes it so bad is the crack is also visable under the seat in the port. I about fell over when the estamate I got for repair is $ 800.00. I called Vintage Power Wagons (the place I had the head and other goodies on the way from) not only will they accept the un-needed parts back, they have complete recently run low milage (10,000 to 15,000 miles) engines from head to pan for $ 750.00. They also have NOS blocks available for $ 950.00. That sounds like a much more realistic way to go.....


Faster, faster, faster, till the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death........
