I know that the original motor has been replaced with a newer one (from a 1965, I THINK). It has been sitting for about 10 years and we want to get it running again. It will either need a rebuild or a short block. Anyone know of a good place to find a rebuilt short block? Like I said, I THINK it is a 65 230 or 235 (have to check numbers to be sure). | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 206 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 206 | I usewd to have the casting number link but now it don't work.
