Now that I've found THE engine. I'll focus on getting it and the drive line up and running in the stand. Pulled the rear heads and pan today. .30 over pistons, and standard shaft. Cylinders fair, bearings in good shape. New hard parts are not available. Ordered a complete overhaul gasket set. Over $350.00, Ouch. Looks like grease and dirt removal is the biggest job. It'll run ok after a good cleaning in and out. Crazy as it seems, I'm trying bring it back as near like it was when shut down 2? yrs ago. There's no way to determine how many hrs. or equivalent miles it has on it. No one remembers how many rebuilds it had.
