I should have mentioned this engine was $200 and a 5 1/2 hour drive for me each way, in Glastonbury, CT. It is unsleaved without much ridge in the bores. Still need to measure them. He had another 8ba with sleeves in it that I did not look over. Are these truck exhaust manifolds? I'm guessing they won't work in a 51 car with the outlet so far forward. They are not set up for a crossover pipe. The water pumps also must be for a truck, but the oil pan has the sump in the middle and no clean out, which would make it fit the cars, correct? Front cover is cast iron I think...
