Info Needed...on F.E Block
Gentlemen; I was just dissassembling a Solid lifter F.E Motor over the weekend and the Block numbers are: Front - 352 , Rear-352 ,Lifter Valley- 47 and no other numbers identifiable. Pistons said 390 on the sides.My question is: Under the middle of the three frost plugs on either side of the block there is a "thin" wire ( Mabey .075" thick or so ) that runs from the cylinder head deck ( On the inside water passage area) to the Cylinder base ( Inside the water jacket).What`s this for?? ,Is it a factory aligning device that helped the factory when casting the block??. And what if a person happenned to break it off with a screw-driver .I appreciate your reply....Mike.....Oh Yea!, I`m looking for a Glenwood F.E Timing Cover for my Marine motor..Thanks :confused:

What looks like a "wire" and often what look like screws are alignment pieces used to hold the block core patterns in place while the foundry sand is poured in and "shaken" to compact it. Best left alone, you wouldn't want to take a chunk of the cylinder wall out with it, would you?
