hey guys this is my first post so take it easy on me . i have a 318 rebuilt aboot 6 years ago. the guy i got it from never ran it and apparently must have left the hood off. i finally got round to putting it in a100 van. decided it would be a good idea to freshen up the gaskets. went to turn over the motor and it only goes so far. turns out two of the cylinders have rust damage. it was all bubbly and flaky.it has everything new. 30 over pistons new cam oil pump pushrods lifters etc.i am pretty sure it will not clean up with a ball hone.and i am on a zero budget. i also have a 318 out of a 86 truck. about 120k on it. so my question is can i use the new cam ,lifters.pushrods heads oil pump timing set on my old engine. the old engine ran awesome in my truck and only had a bad timing chain. in my head it should work does anyone have any exp with this ?.
