Default Australia Chevrolet 216 babbitt Connecting Rods

Hello All,

I have two 216 cubic inch Chevrolet motors that I am rebuilding. I would like to keep one as original as possible. The engines are of unknown quality. These engines have connecting rods with babbitted shells. Not being aware of the condition of the motor ... I don't know how badly worn they are.

If the worst case scenario occurs and they need work; do you now if anyone in Australia offers a babbitted exchange program? There are a couple of crews in the US of A who still offer the service. It would be pretty sharp for freight though!

Also any tips in rebuilding these motors would be most appreciated.

Kind Regards
Lionel
