"How long ago did you take those pics?"
Hi John , It was back in 1998.
Yes Otto , the red one is getting pulled apart right now. I'm about to pull the engine out. Been reading, some say it's best to leave the gearbox on, and undo the round unijoint housing, the spline will just slide out ?
The 216 in the red one was running OK when I parked it. A guy in town has a 235 for free but I want to keep the factory Canadian 216 engine. I have spare 216 engines , all are single hole water pump. Thousands of Canadian Military Pattern trucks were shipped here during WW2, the Canadians continued manufacturing the 1940 type engines with dome pistons until 1945. I've never seen a flat topped piston engine , I believe the US sourced Lend Lease Chevrolet trucks had the flat top type engines .
