| and all were solid lifters. I did have a neighbor who bought a new 63 (late) with cross bolt mains and it was never touched or replaced or anything. It was a ragtop with power windows, seats and a Rotunda tach as delivered. I know Bill Stoppe built some marine engines for racing, but i've never seen them in houseboats or industrial applications myself. I also got my hands on a crossbolt 406 block that was used in a stock car for many years. I grenaded to 406 race car motors that was the fault of the rod bolts. After that I bougt Ansen rod bolts and never had a problem again. I dont know of any manufacturer of these bolts anymore, other than ARP. Develco and SPS, and Mr Gasket used to but I just lost track over the years. Keep us posted on the condition of it, as these are rarer than hens teeth now. What are the date codes and numbers on the block? There were two different rods, and the rod bolts on the earlier rods (C-2's) were shorter than the C-3 ones. |
