Last week i got a free 599 block 6.5 for asking about it laying by the dumpster
My summers priority has been cleaning out my back yard which used to be the parts yard when i had a mechanic and apprentice working in the shop.Since i have closed the shop and don't have anyone working for me,plus there will be a fee charged before long to dump vehicles at the dump.
So i set a target goal of ridding myself of 22 vehicles in 2022,#19 is on the hoist.I think i will blow by 22 and end up in the thirties.
So i decided that i should try and salvage what i could from the 599 block as a change of pace this weekend.
Was told it was running good when removed,clear water was leaking out as i winched it out of the dirt and onto my rollback.
I didn't hold out much hope for a good engine,but hopefully a crack free block and maybe a decent crank,besides the injection system.
The injection system was full of diesel so that was a good sign,no lines got damaged getting it on my deck in a hurry,the guy was locking up.
