Re: New Project for the Coupe
Yeah, I decided yesterday just to go forth with the stroker motor and not even bother with assembling it back as a 351. It would just be added work of having to pull the motor again, and I would...

Re: New Project for the Coupe
Yeah, I'm actually still thinking about slapping it back together as a 351 with some new rings and bearings... so the machine shop may not even see it for a little while. ;)

Re: New Project for the Coupe
From what I hear, the mod motors have pretty shitty factory tolerances too. I'm sure there will be 30 year old mod motors that look just as shitty as this one. :P

Re: New Project for the Coupe

Re: New Project for the Coupe
Well, as I expected, the internals look like crap so far. Although, it doesn't matter anyway since I had already planned to tear it all the way down and put a good cleaning on it.
