I have acquired a 60 -259 engine that may need some work. The engine has been setting for a unknown time.
First of all, it turns over using a pry bar on the flywheel bolts. Big plus.
Saturday, I fabticated a engine dolly , so I could work on the engine. total cost for the engine dolly, $0.00.
Made it out of some old angle iron, and a pile of nuts and bolts I had around.
The engine fits perfectly in it.
I have removed everything except the heads, and have not broken a bolt, or barked a knuckle so far!!!
Tomorrow, we will attempt to fit a starter to it , and run a compression check.
I found a full gasket get for $120, at advance auto. (have to wait till next week to buy them, and my allowance only goes so far!!!
I had forgotten how much fun this is.) Jim in Tulsa.
