I recently got my 74 Gold Duster running again after a year of issue after issue. Brought it into the local shop to have it checked to make sure I got everything right and make sure everything is running properly. I get a call yesterday from the Mechanic telling me he topped off my fluids and let the car run to let everything circulate... That is when he spotted the Crack in my Engine block. I have not gotten a chance to look at the Crack myself so I am not able to send pictures or anymore information other then that it has a crack that he believes is serious.
I will be heading to the Shop to have a look at it myself and take a couple pictures to confirm it. at that point I will need some opinions on what to do.
if there is a quick fix, an easy seal that lasts a few thousand miles or if I need to replace it. If I do have to replace it I need to find out what years are easily interchangeable with the 74, as well a good place to find another 225 slant 6.
Thank you for any help in advance and forgive me for being "not so Mechanically inclined".
