Engine Rebuild Begins
We have been debating for months on what to do with our 289 engine we bought from a craigslist seller. We were not even sure the engine was even worth rebuilding. We had been advised to just buy a crate motor. The engine we have was a 1966 A code 4bl carb. We opened it up with the help of a friend from the coffee shop (Ed). He is a retired GM mechanic with many years of engine experience behind him. When we pulled it apart we were surprised to find that the engine was very clean a probably recently rebuilt. We are sending it off to the machine shop to be cleaned up and possibly re-bored. We should be able to save most of the parts. Updates to follow.
