I agree the cracked head is not a real good reason to replace engine.
Honestly I want little more power getting on and off highway.
And by taking the engine out I can really get to all the other stuff under the hood that needs some attention. But those are excuses for wanting more power

The engine I am looking at does not come with a new distributor.
I want to say thank you very much for your time and suggestions

I think this will be fun as long as I dont mess it up.
This will be my first time doing this. I have replaced parts and diagnosed issues for awhile now. And I do have some honest good people to help me through things I cannot figure out.

I hear bad things about not getting the transmission kick down cable just right and messing the whole thing up. So far that is my main worry.
With cell phone pics and of course this site with so much knowledge recorded here I think I can get the rest of it.

Oh and I meant taking off the grill, radiator and support.
But I'm happy you guys say taking off just the radiator and hood will be good enough!!

And!! I get to buy a few new tools!
