I am unsure how far to rebuild this engine. I was going to overbore and install new pistons but I am thinking now maybe just hone the cylinders, new rings, rod bearings, crank bearings, timing chain and gears. The head will get hardened seats and new valves. The engine has about 85,000 miles on a rebuild when I bought it and the buildup at top of cylinders is not much, less then a fingernail thickness. The engine is from a 68 mustang with 7 main bearings and ran pretty well until I parked it in 2000. I am finding more funds are going into the body and mechanical systems. On this 65 mustang..I am rebuilding a dagenham 4spd. I was going to have a shop handle the entire engine rebuild but I think I can handle it and would enjoy the project. Sources for parts, gaskets, seals? I know there are “kits” and likely some cost benefit. I have looked on eBay.....but want some experienced input...so who can give me a suggestion or two?
Thanks!
