82 "red" block.
I took a ride up to my home town of Brewster NY where there is an old school junkyard to pick up a power steerig pump bracket. The engine the bracket came off of is a 1982 "red" block 660. No date code, but a date stamped 3-2-81. The owner of the yard told me it has 75K on a rebuild and came out of a total loss wreck.I take that as the truth as I have known the family just about all my life and attended school with his son and daughter since grade school. It's complete with the engine wiring harness and no signs of any missing parts and it turns freely so I bought it for $500. I have little knowlage on these engines as i am more geared towards the CUCV J code engines. I did some research on this engine and what little info I could find is that they are less prone to cracking and crank failure. Is this true? I found it odd that this engine was painted red untill I researched it. Was this a good find for 500 bucks? Could I turbo this motor without any major modifications? Should I just put a J code intake and exhast on it and be happy with a decent find? Thanks, Wayne.
