Hello all,
I am coming here in need of some advice. I have a 1949 Oliver 77 which I think was put together from parts long ago. I noticed when looking at another 77 my engine doesnt look like there, mainly the placement of the block drain petcock and the hour meter plate on the distributor housing.
Now I am no expert and used google to the best of my ability, and havent came up with a for sure answer.
The casting numbers on the left of the block are
Top: 185220B
Bottom: IM100B
Vertical above the starter: F32355
I been told its a Super 77 block, been told its a 770 block
Would like to know what it really is if someone can help.
From there I am wanting to know how big a piston I can run. I dont mind having to have the block bored for custom sleeves, and I dont mind having to Bush the rod for a automotive piston.
Just wanting to get as many cubes as I can without having a stroker crank made.
Any and all input would be appreciated.
