A successful engine swap! I can’t thank John enough for letting me borrow Charlie’s 216 until I get mine rebuilt. A long weekend and a few more days and I’m back on the road. I had a lot of good friends volunteer their time to make this possible! We did run into a few issues along the way but nothing that couldn’t be easily resolved.
The engine got all new gaskets, thermostat, my Carter W1 was cleaned and rebuilt, rebuilt the original starter, all new ignition parts. This Stovebolt runs so good!I put about 60 miles on it the first day.
Up next will be rebuilding my original 216 into a full pressure 235.
