I told you guys last week about the B 600 with a y block that I found about 20 miles from me and that I worked a deal with the yard manager. We went after it this morning. after I got it out it was a ECK (55-56) block, O K someone put a car engine in it. We got it home and after I pulled the intake, C1TE heads now what? Pulled the valve covers, and a new set of rockers, I mean no wear at all and clean. Decided to go ahead and pull a head, no wear at all can't even hang a finger nail on the ridge. I had gone to far by now so I fliped it up on the flywheel and pulled the pan. I almost "stroked out", steel crankshaft, .010/ .010 that is as slick as a spanked baby's butt. No stopping now, knocked out a piston, wow C1TE rods. Cleaned the top of the piston and I still don't beleive it, but the dang thing is std bore. The only thing that I can come up with is that it must have eight sleeves or that the rebuilder got hold of some NOS bare blocks. I'll finish tearing it down tomorrow afternoon and find out. CAN'T WAIT
