I pulled the rest of the engine apart today... the
bearings look like new... the cyl walls look great...
I did find a couple of problems... I had a windage tray
on it and it had 4 or 5 good size cracks in the metal..
no biggie there.. I wont run it... next and probably
a real good thing I opened it up.. I run a KB gear
drive (and do on most of my engines) but the bolt
for the idler had come loose and the idler was wobbling
around.. was getting close to falling off.. that would
have been BAD..... then the block... I forgot that
I did a half fill on it... I dont really like to run
a filled block on the street... if I can find a 340
block in a few days I will change over... if not I
will add a oil cooler.........
So ANYONE near Detroit area have a 340 block with a
stock bore OR a GOOD 4.070 bore... or even a
replacement block... PM me.... time is getting short
