This weekend i am going to look at a 351C 2v for my 1973 mustang. It is the same engine the car has although mine is blown and damaged beyond a possible rebuild.
The motor I am going to look at is a .30 over rebuild with forged pistons, a heavy cam,rebuilt 750 holley, edelbrock intake... comes with all machine shop papers for bottom and top end and has not been broken in or installed since rebuild. Has sat in a garage sealed up for about a year. The guy selling it seems to be up front and honest and is being sent to iraq.
I am wondering what all I should inspect. The things I had in mind are...
1. make sure rotating assembly turns without any interferance
2. inspect cylinder walls through spark plug holes with flashlight for rust.
3. past that im not really sure and could use advice from some of the experienced guys on here.
THANK YOU
