Sure didn't see that coming

picked up the donor engine and the guy threw in a new HF cherry picker with the leveling bar for $125. The motor has a bad piston and some weird things going on with the heads. One has straight springs the other tapered. One had the original squirt holes in the rockers while the other head has no squirt holes. The heads are at the machine shop being tested. I am pretty sure the heads off the truck are okay and will pull them when the title gets here on Wednesday.

parts motor... Amazingly enough the lower end is in great shape, all standard, smooth journals, clean, no sludge. I haven't pulled the engine from the truck yet but I am not expecting good news and this block should serve that purpose just fine. regardless of cyl. wall taper etc. I plan on doing a .020 on the bore.
In other news: sad to see the Raiders are having such a good day.

Happy Monday everyone... Well it looks like the oil filter went out with Fridays trash pickup so nothing there... Not a big deal.
I got the crank bed off, not overly surprised. The mains overall appear to have survived better than one might think given the condition of piston 7.
number 4 got the worst of it being next to the cyl. that failed, main 2 was a little damaged. Getting everything to the machine hop for a complete cleaning and inspection should tell the complete damage. The bearing halves on 2 and 4 are distorted and wont sit down over their respective journals so there is that... I do have some good news however. The rear main wasn't leaking at all
#4 main guys... think it will buff out?
