So I've got this free B Engine, a 18V from '76 or so with a CAM-1106 head. Originally I was thinking this would either be the basis for an eventual performance build or a swap in so I could rebuild my current (and original) engine when the time comes.
Now, however, I'm thinking that I'm going to use this to learn more about engines. So I'll take Hap's article about how to tear down an engine and get some practice. Go through all the steps to see what condition this engine is in. It doesn't owe me anything, so if I break something I'm not to fussed.
If everything checked out properly, I'd plan to put it all back together (cheap refresh) and have it as a spare. Otherwise I can send the bits off to recycling.
Figure I'll do the same with the transmission, never been inside one of those before.
