Re: Trying to save a "raised deck" v-8 !!!!!!! UPDATED!!
More progress this afternoon into dinner time. Have all the pistons out, crankshaft and oil pump removed. Initial measurements show the bore is STANDARD, mains and connecting rods on crankshaft are STANDARD. No brand on pistons and obvious signs that this was rebuilt at one time. Think I got it just in time to get rid of all the moisture, bottoms of some lifters are rusty as well as some camshaft lobes. Aluminum timing gear, will be getting to valve train next week, lots of WD-40 and other lubes applied. Maybe the Flathead God's are in my favor.
