Help needed, cracked engine block

Posted by Tom on April 23, 2002 at 22:23:46 from (194.112.145.176):

Hi,
I�ve got a few questions:
I�ve the chance to buy a �56 FMD, the problem is that the engine block has been welded, the owner says it was done in 1976 was used until 2000 without any problems.
Could a welded block be a problem?

"How white" does the thing smoke if it burns water? I started it and ran it for about five or ten minutes and couldn�t recognize a white smoke, only black/blue.
But perhaps its difficult to see the white smoke?

Could i see the water in the motor oil on the dipstick, or do a have to drain the oil?

The engine runs really well, never seen a fmd that runs so smooth and starts easily.

How else could i find out, if there still is a crack on the inside of the block?

Thanx for your help
regards Tom
