The engine was mine...sold to Brian...yes it was running fine prior to being pulled. I ran a compression test was on all six cylinders prior to pulling it. Don't know what shape it's in now but it ran fine when pulled, had around 150k on it. I have photos from when I ran the compression test...all holes > 150psi if memory serves me correctly.
Been gone from my garage for some six months now so you'd need to ask Brian what he's done with it now, don't know. If you want photos of the compression test with the gauge in each image, you can PM me with an email and I'll send them out. I think I still have em somewhere.
Brian, I have the hard tops in Boca. I may need some parts from the F engine. Carb and other bolt on parts. What do you have left? I may be leaning towards a trade for some parts. Maybe even some sandblating of wheels. Shoot me an email or a phone call
