Hello,
I want to preserve the original 216 in my 1-ton, with stamped number matching the VIN plate. I know they are under-powered but I am fine with that. A few photos are at the link below. I am going to pull it out and disassemble it soon.
As it is original, I am very motivated to spend the money to rebuild it. What sorts of issues are a death sentence for a Stovebolt? As you can see mine has seen some moisture but has always been protected by the hood. It is stuck and I won't know why until I take it apart.
