Hello all,
I am in the process of rebuilding my 1950 8N and I just found this forum.
I have disassembled the engine and discovered that the block is completely roached out behind the sleeves and the intake valve seats are stuck really bad.
I've been able to find one site that sells engine blocks but just a bare block is $1500. That's a lot more than I was expecting to pay for a bare block.
Does anyone know where I might find an 8N block with side mount distributor for a better deal? I'm sure I could find a parts tractor on Craigslist but you never know what you're getting until you tear it apart.
Thanks,
Marc
