Blocks with no serial Numbers are usually replacements parts...or stolen...????

...on your other salvaged block... the 235...did it have an oil filter set..... I am asking because it also came from a larger truck..... wondering if it was full or by-pass.

Have you ever been tempted to keep the synchro tranny from the large truck........ is it feasible to fit to the transfer case with the resulting short space between the tranny output and the transfer case...... no more gear grinding sound s attractive.....

We have now taken possession of a alledgedly fully rebuilt 261 which we can now examine to our hearts content. Grant, the owner, is planning to remove the engine from the frame and at least remove the pan and a few cpas to make sure the rebuild was done properly..... at that point we will clearly establish it oil flitering capacity/system.

Keep trucking....
