Find the failure first them go forward

That is the plan. Find out exactly where that 1/8 lb of metal came from

I do have a Delco- Remy dizzy and I'll need to look if it backed out but I dont think that's the case. Aside from better oil delivery and power steering bolt holes on the later 2f's what other benefits are there? I guess parts are a bit easier to come by too.

I've heard, back in the day, that the gears on the Delco dizzy didn't quite match up with the gear on the camshaft and could lead to failure, so you had to swap that gear to a Toyota gear. Maybe something to look at.
One thing about a 2F block is slightly more displacement, some bigger fasteners, like manifold studs and motor mounts.
If you can get a running F engine, you can swap that in in a weekend. Have a running Pig while you plan your next move...

Solid suggestion on the f motor as a interim solution.

I remember that on my 40, I decided to go all GM as in 327.

Thanks Don, might take you up on that offer. Greenbeast has one but its def road trip to get it, as you know. I am thinking about how I can make that happen.

If you’re really looking to make a road trip. ONCE AGAIN, it’s the right coast…I have an’83 2F with 4 speed and split case.

We could also stop over in Atlantic City again!

@Tomba Catfish Round up. If that doesn’t entice you to make a road trip. Not sure what will. Some darn good beef jerky next door also!!

 

[Pigeaten]

Toss up, catfish and jerky, just ordered 4 jars of jerky, wouldn’t sent catfish

 

[Pigeaten]

If i lived there, catfish Roundup at least once a week, i might retire and see if i can live in Jons shop!

 

[Tomba]

Alright that it. I am officially working on the plan.

What's wrong with your old one? 4.10 gears, correct.

Yep. I just want something a lil more compliant for freeway driving and ive heard these help...

 

[PabloCruise]

As far as a v8 goes, that's what I can afford RN. Tryna wrap my head around pulling the motor isn't a good feeling.

Try not to get stuck in a doom loop - I know I do.
Start pulling those caps and see what you learn.
