There are other methods besides welding to take care of broken water jackets from freezing, when you are ready for that, mention it here and someone will update you.

I won't be ready to progress for some time. I have a replacement I6 motor that was given to dad, so we'll be putting that engine in. I believe it to be another 216.. I'll see if I can get a block or tranny number posted sometime soon and let you, knowledgeable people advise at that time. Since I don't have money.. but lots of time, I forsee it taking years and years to get her back on the road. Perhaps I could open up a "gofundme" or kickstarter for the restoration? hahahha:) just kidding.. or maybe not?
Thanks guys!:)
I have been schooled:) I'll just be happy with 45, maybe bolt a "pass when safe" triangle like farm equipment has and be happy with it:) I think I have the dual speed rear differential with a setup of something like 8.something to 1... so I think y'all are right saying not to disable the governor. I will heed your sage and wise words and just worry about getting from point A to point B.:)
