[QUOTE="jonesallu, post: 131721, member: 24131"] The latest on the 1700 is figuring out if the engine is worth salvaging or finding a core to overhaul. There was a little antifreeze in the pan and some water got in the valve covers and cylinders. It was all from just sitting outside. I think the intake manifold gasket failed or there's a crack in it. The biggest disappointment is the engine did not have many hours on it from a prior overhaul. I think one cylinder will probably need to go 1 mm over. I've found all the parts I need, it's just a matter of $$.

I'll post photos oft he block when I get it stripped. Al Jones early 70s Mustang 1700 Brookings SD [/QUOTE]
