Guys
Have to rebuild the 320 in my 46 Roadmaster. My uncle purchased this car in 1972, has been in my family ever since! I learned to drive a standard in this car!
It sat with broken manifold in a barn/ garage for over 20 years.
engine- stuck brakes-stuck clutch- stuck
freed the engine, but 30psi or less on 5 cylinders.
On teardown, found the head was warped in the center( broken exhaust manifold)
only 2 valves had any seats- rust and carbon-
and # 8 had broken piston above the top ring land.
since it is apart, thought I might upgrade, if anyone has these parts or a complete engine, let me know
49 up connecting rods so i can use insert bearing 46 are babbit
49 up rocker arm shaft and pushrods, so i can use hydraulic lifters
any leads would help, ill also take a complete engine, cracked block, seized, anything i can steal the parts from
have tons of nailhead parts to trade, 364 and up both dynaflow and st 400 cranks
any help would be apreciated.
320 engine from 49 to 52 will work
