I'm retiring the Vega's 140, going to swap in a fully built poncho 301 with turbo trans.
That is, it was fully rebuilt ten years ago, and got shelved with the turbo 350 :LOL:after maybe three thousand miles.
It's just a fun little project, no budget- I'll buy whatever I'll need to do the job.
I've managed to brow beat myself into lubing the cam, at least. I really don't want to pull the heads to check the bores for rust, but maybe I should.
It has been stored under an awning, exhaust ports and carb covered with foil tape, and plugs in. I remember some years back, I pulled the plugs and sprayed WD-40 (I think) into the cylinders, and giving it a spin, then put the plugs back in. Every now and again I'll give the front pulley a nudge, just to be sure it hasn't locked up.
All advice is welcome, but this IS the motor that is going in.
