Well I went to Olympia,Wa. this weekend and picked up my "new engine". I'm going to ask you fellas to please identify this block and the heads. I am new at this and i will offer my reasearch and question after. That way I can tell if I'm coming to correct conclusions. Kind of a way for me to grade reasearch skills if you will. Going to try and load a few pics, here goes.......

First thanks cliff, oldmics, I did figure it is a 312. This engine was sold to me as a 292. That's why the request for an ID. just wondering why the guy t

There go my fat fingers again! Sorry. As I was saying, wondering why he said it was a 292?!? Now for the heads, I was under the impression through MY research that the ECZ G heads were 57. I know the pics are less than ideal, but the heads ARE marked "G". Where did I go wrong? Where do I find the correct info? I checked John Mummerts' page and Tim McMasters'. How am I reading the castings wrong? Thanks for your help. Rowen

The head looks like ECZ-C to me.  G heads also would not have the casting number between the exhaust ports as pictured.  C's are still decent heads, from the 2nd most powerful year.

By the way it looks like you scored on this engine!



Y's guys rule!

Thanks Charlie for the clarification on the heads. Ill have to look a little closer when I get home. The old eyes arnt quite what they used to be. Thanks to you as well MoonShadow, yes I think I did. It has had 8 sleeves installed. The crank has been ground and polished. It also has a clay smith cam in it as well. I don't recall the grind off the top of my head. I have the card at home. The heads have been ported, hardened seats, with the 1.92(?) intake valves. Oh and they and the block have been decked. The pistons are forged domed Mummert with all clevite bearings throughout. It has been stored for the last 3 yrs in dry storage and was bagged. Minor serface rust on the heads but I think a wire brush will take care of that. New lifters, push rods, and rocker arms. 115# springs, and more that I can't remember. With my 57 dual quad intake and two of Sals teapots I think it will be a very nice motor for my 55CV. And the price was right. The paper work says near $2900 in parts and labor and that does not include the cost of the cam, pistons, rods(balanced), timing set, rings, etc. I paid, don't know if I should post this, $800 for all. It was stalled project for a young man that life caught up with and couldn't finish. I feel VERY blessed indeed!! AND it's a 312, not a 292 ta boot!! Looking forward to putting it together and gettin it installed. Gotta change out my 6v harness first though as it is cracked EVERYWHERE with a lot of repairs over the last 60 yrs. it will be 12v when it happens. Anyway, thanks guys for all your responses. Ill be back with more info and questions later. Rowen
