The engine came from a carrier and was restored in the early '50 by a company in holland. they stored all the engines for years. Got this one from a frind ho knows the owner's son. It's a canadian build engine but it came with the wrong camshaft (early 50' for a side mount disributor) so i had to take the engine a part again. that was a good thing becouse the valves were bad as well after all these years. Now it's in good condition and ready to go to the show.
I did not replace the head studs exept for one, they were all good.
