We are attempting fitting a 2.7 into our 1974 rustout hulk but have come across another hurtle. I have had a 2.7 kicking around for awhile and "assumed" we could go through it with new bearings/rings/..... and have a nice power plant. Not so quick there. The head stud issue is well known and I recently found when the magnesium cases are disassembled the crankshaft bores no longer return to a round/aligned condition.
I want to believe someone out there can get these magnesium cases in serviceable condition with good crank bores and good head stud bores. thanks |

There are several places that do this. Ollie’s and competition engineering are two old standbys. They have relatively long lead times - 8 weeks or so. Contact them for details
Also prepare for $ - figure $2500 at least There are some alternative places. You are in the Northeast. I have heard of a few places that do it, but do not have details. Hopefully someone else will chime in. Suggest you post to Pelican engine rebuild forum. There are a lot more knowledgeable people listening on that board. If you are doing heads, I recommend Craig Garret. 616-818-6629 He list often on Pelican. Also Anchor. https://anchoratlantic.com/ not sure either does case work Just saw that you posted over on Pelican. Do not know the details of your head stud issues. Check out “homebuilt by Jeff” on YouTube. He went through a complete case salvage with major spigot bore issues using a really competent rebuild shop in LA. Assume large coin. you can pick up these case for fairly cheap if yours can’t be fixed (they will still need machined). Karl Hens down at Thoroughbred Racing in Corry PA has a shitload of them. He also rebuilds a lot of motors. He can answer any questions about machinists also. |
