hello everyone!
im new to this forum, and i hope anybody can help me.
i am from germany, so please excuse me, if my english is wrong sometimes.
i bought a 1963 special sedan with the v6 engine and a 3 speed manual tranmission. the seller told me it stood in his barn since 16 years, and it doesnt start because of ignition problems. so i took it on a trailer and brought it home.
so when it tried starting it, it ran for about 2 mins very rough. there has been a noise (like knocking from valves.
so i checked the oil again, and it was much more than before i tried starting it. it smelled like fuel.
so when i removed the oil, it was mixed with fuel.
does anybody know what could be wrong?
and for the worst case of a broken engine: does anybody know which engine will fit the original transmission without big changes? do the 90s v6 engines fit?
