:? Is an early 170 block worth keeping? I understand that if you install a 225 crank and rods, you can get a high compression combination since the 170 block is shorter than the 225. Just curious. Thanks. RICK

Can't do it with 225 parts, but you can use 198 crank and 170 rods and non-Slant pistons with some block clearancing.

8) Thanks Lou, I'm not sharp enough to take on a project like that yet. Anyone want the shortblock and head ? It's a freebee... RICK

I would be interested too, but transport is the problem...

Dago, I'd be interested, if you can hold it until my next trip to Fort Worth. Shouldn't be more than a few weeks.

:) Terrific! I'll just ease it into a quiet corner until then. I just hate to pitch something if there are still usable pieces in it. Call me first at 817-307-3539 as I have a somewhat goofy work schedule. RICK

Yeah, I'm a recovering packrat myself - with the occasional backslide! :wink:
