Yes the positive note...
Complete fuel injection system with a 4911 pump
One head with no visible cracks,complete set of precups with no cracks,and exhaust manifolds.No serpentine stuff or top plenum.
And hopefully a good crank and rods.
I expected some backlash with my rust removal method with the zip wheel.
I kept one picture out of the thread but here it is.
The block is toast:(.
The rust probably toasted it as well,not sure if it could have been sleeved for deep rust pits...
But i doubt it can be sleeved
Attachment 6649 for cylinder wall punchout.
My luck,finally get a 599 block and it's worse than the cracked blocks i already have.
I plan on a trip to a buddies wrecking yard to see what is laying around there for 6.5 stuff to try and save.
