Help with a 406 Please!
I am about to purchase a 406 fe block that has been sitting outside and has some rust in bores. I think it was bored to .060 over and I would like to know if I should proceed to acquire it and what problems I might encounter if I get it if any? I think it was in a jet boat.
Like if too much taper can I bore it further? Like to .080?
Or if too rusty.
As I take this block to the machine shop what should I have checked before proceeding?
This block has the thick webs and side provisions for cross bolts. I have seen on ebay a bottom girdle for fe's. Any thoughts on how that would work vs/ having cross bolts installed.
Any starting suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I'm a newby!
Well I've sure gotten old too so don't worry about it! I've had two bypass surgeries, new knees, fought prostate, cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,...
