Re: Pulled my spare engine apart for inspection
Isn't that the truth. I was recently given an engine that has been a club member's "spare" for ~40 years. He said it came with his car and has been sitting in his garage all this time.

Re: Pulled my spare engine apart for inspection
Brumfield head installed, started right up. Seems to run about the same, sounds the same to me.

Re: Pulled my spare engine apart for inspection
Yep, $25 bucks. He had several stock heads too. He knew it was a high compression head, I even remarked to him that a Synders 5.5 was $300. And asked if he was sure he wanted to part with it. A stock head would have been fine with me, but since he didn't care I thought it would be an interesting experiment to try it out. It certainly didn't fit down over the studs as well as the one I pulled off, and the distributor seems to set a wee bit higher making the spark-plug wires seem a tad too short. I took a peek at the honing marks in the cylinders while I had the head off, they are still there for the most part but you can tell it is wearing in. He has a Fordor for sale for $5000 too if anyone's interested. A pretty complete car that does run and drive.

CHA-CHING! Maybe a little more with some run time on it?
