it developed a knock and spun some bearings. I honestly don't know quite yet but I don't need a baller's engine.
I am in Glendale Ca.
I want to achieve a running engine jk
This motor has live a good life in the previous owners boat, lost oil pressure do to the head on the pick up folling off. This is only a 2 bolt block so nothing fancy needed just a running engine to have as a spare . It did push a 21' crusader jet to 49.9 gps mph when it ran
If it were me, I'd have the crank checked to see if it can be turned. Probably need a new rod that spun the bearing. If the crank is beyond repair, I'd find a used one to replace it. 2 bolt mains, cast crank, stock rods work fine. I've run them for years with no trouble even raced it. The only thing I changed was forged pistons, arp rod bolts and polished the rod beams.
Also lookin to rebuild my 454. What are the best kits out there just for bearings and gaskets and what not? Lookin for 450+ horsepower
