You say that's forty plus years of rust you have there, will the engine turn over?
Im hoping to save it. Maybe one of you guys can help me out with this one.....the balancer does not have a 5/8 bolt at the end of it to turn. Any thoughts on how to turn it over by hand. Looks like the end of the crankshaft is not threaded for one either.
I need to find another engine stand first. right now it is sitting on a tire on the floor of the garage. But yes I did run the numbers on this motor in it is a late '58 to '59. On my budget for this build, I may end up selling the motor and find a running 350 somewhere. Again, I need to pop off the heads and sell what everything looks like. It appears to have the original starter, carb, dizzy and water pump. So maybe the is an Elky owner looking for an all original 283 somewhere....and I may get lucky.
