I now have the donor 1500 for my project Spitfire. According to dates written on the oil filter the engine was last run in 1997.
I will be using the alternator, distributor, flywheel/clutch, water pump, intake/exhaust manifolds, and carb off the old engine. The plugs will be new and I will set the valves, do an oil change, and all the regular mundane stuff.
The donor engine turns over freely by hand so I'm not worried that the rings are stuck or bores rusted. However, short of tearing the engine apart, what other things should I look at prior to restarting the engine?
