In this week's episode of bore or scrap it.

One of my friends saw me tearing down the locked 318 from my 74 duster last week and it was trashed, probably been locked up since before I was born.


So my friend decided to give me a locked 318, this one is a from a really early build 68 B body (charger) so the block is dated 8/67.

This one is not as bad as the 74 was in the cylinders, but this one has rust under the intake manifold.

I drained at least a gallon of water.

My friend thinks it got watered last summer (2019) when we had a monsoon season, because he last ran this engine in late 17.

I was thinking for 68, it would have the raised area for the vin number stamp but it doesn't have any numbers anywhere that I can see.
