Coolant leaking into 318 cylinder 8

At this point, I have no faith in the block. I found a 1967 complete engine, minus the heads, that has never been torn down. I already have it down to the bare block, and will have a local shop go through it completely. I have wasted FAR too much time and money on this project to take shortcuts now.

They will clean it, test it, bore it, deck it, and have it ready to install parts. I am going to use the new pistons, new cam, etc. from the remanned engine. I will probably even use the crank, as my local shop does not turn cranks. Too bad though. This 67 block has a forged steel crank in it.


The only good news. The block I found is a 1967 block, and the car is a 1967 Barracuda. So at least it is now a year matching block.
