Any reason you're rebuilding the engine instead of just getting a new one? You have no idea what can of worms is in there. It sounds like the car was rode hard and put up wet and a rebuild that will discover and repair all the abuse it's seen will be as much as a new short block. And you won't be revisiting it again in two years |
The engine in the car was the "born with" engine and the shelby alloy block was chosen specifically for the CSX part number which is a partial VIN match to the car. If it's possible to repair it, I want to. If it's so far damaged that it's unfeasable to repair and make it reliable I'll put a new short block in it. Barry R will let me know once he has it apart.
