Bad news! The donor has turned out to be a Jasper short block with a cast crank! It has the 1972 intake, exhaust, head and oil pan, but the rest is not worth it now. I guess I will be using the 70 block, crank, and rods I had laying around.
New plan is to bore and hone for .030” to clean up the cylinders, add new bearings, and now to clean up the crankshaft in that block.
What issue do you have with the cast crank motor? The last years cast crankshafts are really light. I am using a last year 87 cast crank motor as the base for the performance slant in my 68 Barracuda.
