I would really like to rebuild this motor, but at this point I don't even think it would be possible to disassemble it.
If it was hot tanked do you think it might come apart ?
Pics - not for the squeamish LoL ! |
I have a very nice 292 that will bolt right into that truck... and it ran when I took it out.
