For a boat motor :D
I've got a '76 Starcraft that I bought from a fellow upstate, but the motor had freeze damage. I figured that for the price I paid (under $700 for a sound hull with good floor, new interior, good Mercruiser drive and a decent trailer) I could either fix it or part it out with little risk. After messing with it I have decided to fix it. Block and 1 head are fine, but the other head is now better suited to be an anchor. I got the engine running prior to the teardown, but it made a milkshake out of the crankcase oil... The photos below explain the reason why. Shawn60 was kind enough to help pull the motor - I was feeling kinda crappy that day and let him be the bilge rat :D
Anybody got an older 351W Ford cylinder head they want to part with? I figured I'd ask here first, before making the junkyard rounds...
