Ya know - you should take the engine coming at you - it just all falls into place if you do not rush it or push it.
Yup!! That's pretty much the attitude I've developed when working with these old MVs.
Like my buddy at the junk yard just happened to stop in to see me just after we found the crack in the block! Who would have thunk it?? When he said he had a 248 in an old Chevy truck I almost passed out...and it's only about 20 miles away...and it's "supposed" to run...and it's free! Guess I will make time today to go take a look.
I know there will be some parts swapping to be done on the engine but everything on my engine looks good so that should not be an issue.
If all else fails, it's back to boring the other 270 block and buying all new stuff for it...at least we'll know exactly what we've got then.
Nope... I'm not gonna stress over it. You (Zout) have saved the ole girl from the rust monster so now we have plenty of time to find her a new "heart" and perform the transplant when ready.
