I have a 1942 babbitt bearing 235 in my truck, Cloey and I'm wondering if I choose to use this truck very much, should replace the engine (maybe with a 260) or just use it as-is with the babbitt bearing 235. I don't want to wear-out or take a chance on ruining a perfectly good early engine if it has value as-is. The truck and engine only have 11,000 miles. What do you think?
