Well i guess i got lucky ? - 08/22/18 05:34 AM
Finally got my car out of panel shop prison and pulled the motor/trans last night . Trying to locate the coolant leak in the motor .
The block is cracked in #4 main from cap up into coolant passage .
I guess from a glass half full view I am lucky , it ran maybe 6-8 passes like this and I didn't drive over the crankshaft .
If only there was a readily available cross bolt iron block , I would buy 1 in a heartbeat ( realistic pricing )
Oh well time to put the new TF270 heads onto my old 440 short and keep going
