Hello guys. I am an MM guy to the bone, but I am working on a Ford TW15 for a friend. Evidently I am the only person in the world who didn't know about the pourus Ford blocks.
I am now up to speed and have disassembled this engine and found a hole in cylinder 6.
The hole is at the bottom of the bore and I'm not sure, boring and sleeving it will repair it.
I have found a block from a 7810 but am not sure this block can be used for my TW build. The parts book shows the oil pump different on the 7810 it looks like it drives different. I wondered if the block was cast different for the 7810. I see there is a large hole under the oil filter on the 7810 that isn't present on the 401 block that I have.
What are the differences between the 7810 block and the TW?
The number on the 7810 block I want to use is 87840645.
Thanks for any info you can offer.
