I got the 3.3l block back from the machine shop this last Wednesday and it looks solid. I painted it black and when I post the pics its one of the nicer ones and hopefully it will last me another 50 years.
The head is taking some time with my builder just because it sure is not cheap to build and he couldn't get any of the parts so I gave him the works for my 73 4.1L bronco head that's getting the brazed intake for 2v race holley, port divider, stainless valves, bronze guides , hardened seats, dual springs , viton seals, modified combustion chambers, milled head for increased compression ratio.
head studs. new camshaft will be ordered this week and hopefulley can pick up my head early next week to get my 65 mustang running again by this month.
I've driven this car only with the stock 200 set up so I can't wait to see the difference with the two barrel conversion, large log and finally ditching the stock camshaft
I took the engine apart last week from the running and driving car so I hope this goes smoothly and there will be some great pictures to come over this next week so stay tuned!
