Large chance it has an updated manifold; does your exhaust go up through the hood? Either way, easy enough carbs to work on.

The nice thing if you decide to pull the head; you should have no trouble getting the pistons loose:

ATF; then some diesel on top & lit on fire [I'd never used the fire trick until a 22-36 I have apart right now; sure seems to help!] right before a solid chunk of post and a large hammer -if you can get 2&3 or 1&4 to move up first with the rod caps off all of them, the other two should be quite cooperative for the hammer.

The bad thing, price creep! :

I have the head off, hmmm, maybe I'll have the valves ground.

Valves shot? (likely a couple with issues if it's been getting water in there),

Better put those in.

Guides are shot?

Well since it's apart, better put them in.

EEK; I have $500 [+/- about $300] in the head! No point in blowing all the compression down the bore if the head's perfect.

.030 worn sleeves, and it's pitted too? [minus a nasty combination though, you will hear plenty of success stories with just rings in these]

Errr, just put $500 in the head, better do the $500 for sleeves along with $100 rings. Don't forget a couple hundred for gaskets!

How do the rod bearings look?

What about those mains? Those ball bearings can ring up...$100s Each! Better add some more gaskets to get to the crankshaft.

What about that clutch?

and on

and on :shock: :lol:

That noted; I got several running for no more cost than an oil change and a few gallons in the gas tank, but just warning how easy it is to add one cost on top of another. :P

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si ... [Read Article]
