I agree in that is is a SBF distributor which has the same lower end machined as our Y-block distributors. What they did is cut the shaft, used a properly (hopefully) machined sleeve to position the lower shaft section with hex drive to the PROPER length. Then it's just a matter of installing the gear in the proper place per the Y-block shop manual. In this case, the gear should be the larger 15 tooth  Lincoln gear.  I have done somewhat similar Lincoln to Ford Y-block swaps.

So far I have had inquiries from local to Norway, including France. The shipping and duties to France are astronomical. I was quoted $7K+ air and a whopping $13K+ for sea. There's no doubt, with all the oddball contacts that came pouring in, that DHL has many outlets for their services and "subcontractors" have infiltrated their ranks with inflated prices. I could have offered him a much better deal thru Wallenius Wilhelmsen Shipping which calls in to the Port of Tacoma and Belgium. He could have made the trek to Belgium himself and saved big.

Really sorry to hear that guys.. And you were so close.. Building a Lincoln is not for the faint of heart..I have done them for many years.. They are supper rugged and reliable and make good power but you have to be imaginative to create parts to make them work.. For years you could put the Lincoln Y enthusiasts in a phone booth but in the last couple years i have advised several guys doing builds.. One in the UK with a replica Mexican road race car....  Be patient  someone will be happy to get your engine.

compression check went good, we're sure it was low earlier due to fuel mixed in the oil from the Webers Carbs. More run time will allow the rings to seat better with the fresh oil.  We put the 302 back in the car and the 368 is now up for sale. $3000 complete less teapot factory carb. Turnpike valve covers and ceramic coated Y exhausts if you don't like the stockers. Vacuum is 19.
   

  

  

  

Everything put back together. The engine runs fine but we still have to do a compression check. 

Got a valve and gaskets. We're going to try to put this back together with stock intake and see what the compression looks like.

Hey Ted, gotta extra exhaust valve you want to part with?  Marty

we're considering it but probably not. I need an exhaust valve. EGGE has one but they want $21 shipping for a $29 valve. I have a hard time with that. I was wondering if there were any other valves that I could use.
