In 2004, as a college student, like an idiot, tore this motor down. Worked on it with my great-grandfather, who then passed away. The parts were all thrown together and then have been moved to a couple different houses. NOW, I'm pushing 40, have 2 kids and want to see if i can put it back together.
I lost a lifter somewhere....argh!! If I can find a donor 248 somewhere for cheap, could I use one of the lifters? It's not a high revving v8, The lifters are all mixed up too, but I figure that won't matter much either. I rebuilt 2 ford 4 cylinders for 8n tractors, it's a non-issue on those, I figure similar situation for these.
Ppl are scrapping these old straight sixes all the time to put in a V8, I wish I could save one. And for that matter, who cares about putting a V8 in these things? My minivan is 285-hp and will hit 100MPH in no time. I enjoy the original stuff, in daily driver style (not into flashy show vehicles). I liked "patina" when patina was not cool. Located in Waynesburg, PA.
