Hello my dears,
Question: the cyl heads on the CS, what date should they be? Mine are '66. I need to know asap, as I've given the shop the go ahead already to rebuild them. At $564 I need to know if it's worth it to keep these or dump them for the correct date.
Update: My engine is hydro-locked. Won't turn manually, even hooked up the battery etc to start it electrically- no turning. There is rust everywhere thanks to all the water I dumbly kept dumping into the new radiator.
It's at ".04", and the consensus is that it's not worth trying to rebuild at this point.
You don't know how much I want to pull that thing out and light it on fire!
It IS coming out (I think next week via my MNW crew- and Robert if you'd like to join us, pls come. Anyone else, for that matter, is welcome.) We have a lift and hopefully enough room in the garage for this enginectomy.
SO coming up, in the beginning of the year or so, I'll be looking for a 302. No $ right now...
Thank you for everyone's advice and offers. And YES I'm thinking of doing this the slow way and painting the engine bay/redoing the transmission/etc while everything is out.
For the love of the Special!!
