340 Engine Shake

UPDATE:

Block crank pistons and rods dropped at the machine shop. It cannot go 60 over only because 20,000 will not clean it up. He's going to have the owner look it over but his gut was to sleeve it. He did not see anything wrong with the crank, but he hasn't measured just a visual. He's going to check the line on the block to the crank and magnaflex the block.

He also wasn't a bit concerned at all with the rust in the water jackets.

He said no doubt water got into the cylinder somehow and given the fact that the motor sat a while even though it was sealed up with parts in bagged he said it doesn't take much moisture for something like that to happen and letting it sit.

If you live in a humid place like me in Atlanta, unless the parts are soaking in oil or coated with grease they will rust. Humidity causes condensation inside the bag. I use STP on cylinder bores if I know it will be a bit before the engine will be running.

@Plumcrazee70, since you got the raw end of the deal with this motor and if you are on a tight budget because of that, I have a brand new 214 224 @ .050 .444 intake .466 exh lift hydraulic flat tappet elgin cam on the shelf I will give it to you if you need it to get back up and running. It is an old school cam that was very popular back in the day for a street engine 340/360.
