well now that the carrier is out of the way and i cant do much with it i have started to clean and degrease my engine. usually i like to send these off for steam clean and chemical clean but this time around i went for gizer and preasure wash... the block came up rather nice.. the mains are shot (well the center and front main) the crank has been reground so just need to get some shells sortid for it i am still trying to figure out which engine it is, it appears to have the 81A heads.... there is 99 embossed in the block which i am unsure of ?

one thing i have found out is the 1060 number i queried on the top of the pistons is also in the block and i have noticed that this refers to the job number which was put in by Torgis engineering march 1945 this is also on the brass plate on the bell housing.


i have yet to extract the studs using a stud box (i despise seeing stilsons being used to take studs out) that will be done tomorrow followed by some rubbing down and then painting ready for when its rebuilt.

there is a small hole in the sump tray in the bellhousing section and although it does not need to contain oil it looks unsightly so will weld it up.
