Everyone, finally got the 292 motor out of the old truck and cleaned her up somewhat. I know that it was changed from a 3 on the tree to a Borg/Warner 4 speed but the block has me mystified for it is Blue. It is a 1963 F100 that has sat since 1981, not seized, turned over had spark etc,. but now I am figuring that this is not the original engine. So, now I am kind of second guessing myself as if this engine is worth the rebuild?? I did dump the oil and there was no water in it for the motor and rad still had antifreeze in it. I will try and track down the owner but were there rebuilds back in the day where they used different blocks and if they did were they new or used blocks when redone for people? I was going to have it professionally done but now I am at junction point. I'm not an expert but can dismantle however I would not know what to look for. Your thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. I am heading south for warmer weather now but will read and answer as I can. Tks JP
Don't grow up, it's a TRICK!
