Folks/!!
That's a great photo John. What I see is a nice, clean, iron-barrel original 72T motor. To casual observers, the slightly rusty look gives them away. Is it matching numbers? More pics please. I don't wish to sound mean, but I'm betting if you wrote a little more clearly then this could be a nice thread to follow. When I mean clearly I'm talking the basics: full stops, paragraphs and all that. I'm sorry for having to point that out, and am far from perfect myself

In one of those pics, It looks like it had an engine fire.
BYW: I have no patience for the attitude of this guy. Something smells here.

yes the tech said motor had an upgrade of tensioner which was a good sign .. numbers do match so would be nice to keep everything matching. seems to me once i get this motor rebuilt nothing else could go wrong.if anyone has heat exchangers for sale give me a private email with photos. if i decide to rebuild might as well go all the way.heat exchangers must fit 1973.5 carbs

johnm, What is your engine serial #? If this is a 73.5 it should have had CIS injection, not carbs. Updated pressure fed tensioners look like attached pic.
Matt Smith, 73.5T originaly had iron barrels.

yes the carbs are not original. i never said the carbs were. the tech mech said my tensioners are an upgrade and within 10 years. i personlly are no pro on these cars and thats why it is a pros-shop. i'm only relaying what he told me.once he rips down the motor we will know what happened and the cause. the tech checked the numbers and said it was the original numbers on motor.

think about hot rod mods since you have to tear it down anyway, you may as well build it up good.
carb type cams are one thing to be sure of for more $$ could build to a 2.5L or 2.7L sorry you had this happen, but your fixed motor could go 200k miles |
