the gods must be crazy,

[Lawrie]

Well I must be any way,
after scouring my stash for a good later model block,I found a 99a truck engine with std bore, this I bored to .040 over,fitted a new scat 4in crank,resized the 2.139 rods and fitted standard ford cadmium floaters,really good stock cam,new water pumps, set up the heads with .040 piston to head clearance,fitted a full flow filter setup ,then refaced the flywheel,AND THEN fitted a used 10 inch clutch,
This engine I fitted to my stock 33 to tow the caravan better,
Well it went great,except the clutch was like a Kangaroo on take off,and the engine went like a rocket,rocked the car when you revved it.and felt like a hotrod.
But was not as nice an engine as the standard 21 stud motor,which is one good engine.
Well this morning I pulled the 99a engine, threw it under the bench and refitted the 21 stud engine,this engine towed the caravan great,so I have a pile of late model blocks that I had collected for future use in the 33 and 34,but now realise that the 21 stud motors are the good thing for them, the late model engines will have to stay under the bench.
I had to let Wife Carol know that I had wasted a pile of money on the engine that now resides under the bench,nicely painted though.
