Ok the diagnosis is in…..
Crankshaft is toast
Cylinder Head is cracked, also toast
Block is usable and can go with .30 over.
Now’s the time to make up my mind…..
With this bad news I’m really thinking I should bail on the inline 6. Listening to several here has kept me trying to save it. But now the cost looks like it will exceed using the 390 that’s already built….I do have the old Cruise o matic to bolt up to the big block, but almost certainly it needs to be rebuilt.
I will make the two lists and compare now that I know I only have a bare block to start with…..
Bummer….
