Digging into an engine...
For the 1st time.
After filling the cylinders of the original 216 engine with penetrating stew and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, i had enough. I pulled the head off the fidy this morning, and found out why it wouldnt turn over...
Still cant quite figure out how so much water got in the cylinders, the gaskets look good. Guess im gonna get to put a 235 in after all. This is the original engine, so i hope to rebuild her someday. For now, ill likely put in an upgraded engine, a 235, which is just a better, more reliable version of the 216. Still a straight 6 engine, that is still somewhat period correct. Its also easyier to soup up.
