Engine replacement

[Bob Carriere]

Both engine are the same size......in machine shop terminology it usually means......

Short block..... is the engine block, pistons, crank and cam shaft and timing gear with cover....... nothing else is included....

Long block...... same as above BUT it includes the installed head(s) and valve train and usually includes the valve cover and oil pan, oil pump...... DOES NOT INCLUDE intake/exhaust manifold , carburator, water pump, distributor, generator, pulleys,


A full "drop in" would be an engine that has all the accessories attached ready to be bolted in and run.......

Good luck

Cheers

Make sure you have each engine serial number checked to identify the year of manufacture ....... have you been reading the "tech tips" on the Stovebolt forum......... lots of precious information on that forum.

Have you checked the front plates behind the harmonic balancer for the two engine mounting holes??

Looking forward for the pics!!

Cheers

I haven't read anything. Will do it ASAP. Too late, probably
