    Engine stand question

    This may not be for you since you want to build. But I can't weld and would have to pay someone. So this is the route I took.

    Compression puzzle

    Forgive my ignorance. But are you saying you can put a 447 crank in a 256 case? I know you can swap cams but I didn't know you could swap cranks. This may change everything for me,,,,lol.

    Will a 83 motor work in my 72, and is this a good deal?

    That's a 77 engine. But man. I hate to tear it apart to vapor blast it. Bit if I don't the money on the vapor blaster will be wasted,,,lol.

    It was well over 5 years ago when I rode it. I don't remember if it rattled or not. But it sure did smoke. Before I just tore it apart I was trying to kick it on the stand I have it on. I only got 60psi compression on each cylinder. But I was having a hard time holding it still and kicking at...

    Here's what my rods look like now. I guess my choices on this one are a full rebuild $$$$, or throw rings,wrist pins, and valve seals on it and go.
