Re: [old-chevy-truck] engine removal
Hey guys; You all were so generous with your input on what to do with my 235 that needs serious work. The block is .o60 overbore now with a damaged cylinder that will need sleeved. The remaining cyls all had 125-135 compression but don't know if the pistons still fit with prescribed tolerance. If I can hold them at .060 and sleeve the other one at .060, that would be my preference. Several machinists I have spoken to says it is OK to go .080 and pistons are available. Any one out there have experience with .080 overbore either neg or positive? Comments I have locally say there is plenty of iron there to bore it out, others say it will cause overheating. Ideally I would like a whole engine that just needs a basic overhaul. I would think in AZ it wouldn't be too hard, but not having too much luck. Heads are at a premium as they say close to 90% are cracked and about 50% are repairable. Mine is cracked and NOT repairable. Any experience with .080 overbore would be helpful.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] engine removal
If it's out do the entire engine . Money well spent in the long run . Wolf I would check on the pistons first. See what over sizes are available then go from there. These old sixes are pricey to over haul and cheap to get another engine pulled from a car or truck someone is rodding out. Another option is to sleeve that cylinder. This could keep you from buying a whole set of new pistons and a total rebore. This option is kinda pricey too, but may be cheaper than a complete rebore and all new pistons. Check with you machine shop and do some figures to see what will work out best for you. The 060 is an indicator it has been bored 60 thousands over the stock bore.

Ken you might try "sleeving" it. I through a rod a couple of years ago and it punched a hole through the cylinder wall but not the block.

Well, I pulled my 235 (twice - long story) with 3 speed tranny attached. Of course, I had removed the hood. The clearance was adequate but we had to do a little "fishing" of the units as they were being raised and lowered to keep from banging into stuff.

Seems like an engine with a trans hanging out the back is a long thing, and they'd be heavy (heavier) together. Some vehicles like the MG Midget do it that way but then you have to allow for vertical clearance as you're going up and out. .bill in corvallis _ From: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com [mailto:old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ken Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2011 4:58 PM To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Subject: [old-chevy-truck] engine removal Hi gang. Getting ready to pull the engine from my 52 half ton. It came with a transplanted 235 (1959) and a granny 4sp replacing the orig. 3 sp. I am being told to pull engine and tranny as a unit. It doesn't look like the tranny would clear the cross member the rear engine motor mounts are bolted to. As you know that 4sp is big and it hangs down several inches below and behind the cross member. I am not going to modify anything so I will be using the old tranny ( and the engine if salvageable) My question is--can that 4sp box clear that cross member?? AS alway thanks a bunch for all your input and expertise. Thanks, KEn [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!
