Re: Rebuilt engines in progress
You'r best bet is The Blower Shop in California. He worked for B&M before Holley bought them. I have used him before and he did a great job for a reasonable price.

Did not clean out the passages. According to my buddy Dave it is actually better to leave it in there. He said it forms a coating which actually inhibits additional rusting.

Where my water pressure gage hooks op the rust restricts the psi.also where your putting the motor together and turn it over trash [rust]falls out ,it might get in the motor on assembly.
I also like the larger degree wheel
, Yall see the burett tube??f311fr1 I heard Marv at the Blower shop went to work for CP Performance . no longer there

Re: Rebuilt engines in progress
Dave's been building engines a long time and does not feel the rust is a problem.
He first built these about 10+ years ago. A freshening up here and there but they are still running today. The blocks are getting a little tired and we are in process of building a new set of 600 Merlins for the cat.

I see part of a YELLA engine in a plastic bag in post #2 off in the upper left hand corner of the picture----I wonder who that belongs to?
Lookin' good Dennis! You definately are in good hands!

Re: Rebuilt engines in progress
EC39, looking good. I haven't been to dave's shop for a few days so it was nice to see the pictures of the shiny new engines in progress.
The Blower Shop wanted $1000 just to pull my B&M 250 apart. I'm sure i would have gotten a top-notch job from them but I wasn't in a postion to spend $1000-1500 on it. Holley did an excellent job on it.
