I have started going through a 1958-1962 Chevy 235 that I pulled from a parts car. Everything was looking good until I pulled the oil pan and flipped the block over on my stand. The second to rear cam bearing is all chewed up and half out of the casting!
Do I have a big time problem?? The motor still spins freely as the bearing has bent away from the cam lobe. My guess is this means new cam, new pressed in bearings at least and a total rebuild as most.
I have a running 216 in my car so maybe I'll scrap the idea of using the 235? Anybody been through this before, help!


It's my first 51!
