Well i looked at the motors today , the guy i visited has at least a dozen or more 24 stud sidevalve V8`s in his shed . I looked at the 21 stud motor in the picture and decided against it as i want to restore the F15 to close to original . he also had a 24 Stud motor with all the accesories including original linkages that came out of a F15 but he wants $750 for the motor as is . I turned the motor over a few times and it has some compression but not a lot . Is the motor worth getting for $750 or should i haggle the price down a bit ?
Buy the motor..
The best you'll see is 100 PSI compression on that motor...
If it is low evenly ..you have a good motor..
What kind of readings did you get...Did you do the readings wet and dry..??
Tell us more..
