Need rebuildable 212 engine
-
Long story but I am in need of a rebuildable early style 212 engine .030 over on piston bore or less with the distributor down at the rear right side . Needs to be within reasonable pick up distance from Salem Ind. and VERY reasonably priced , machine shop screwed up the last one and about broke me . Not in any big rush . Email or PM to contact me.

Can't put that into a Hudson from 39 down, as the distributor is at the back top of the block. Would have to rework the firewall. Walt.Have a 212 motor complete with carb and air cleaner but out of a 46 pickup that ran last year. Rear main leaks and has worn rings I am sure of. Original factory engine. Will take $400 for it, I am in central Illinois. -
THANKS RUSS , yeah Walt is right , and I'm sure you know , but I can't do the cut out. I've used up the space inside the car with a heater/air conditioner unit I made and want to keep it , my old bones don't like real cold/hot any more . I've got a few parts from another old junk block, head-good water pump- pan, maybe easier to say what is not good---crank-cam- lifters-block are shot , been left to mother nature before I got it . The rest I have or can transfer from the engine in the car now . Got some new .030 pistons allready cam ground, rods that need rebabbit , main shells to rebuild , spare rebuilt water pump , all that sort of stuff . Thanks , BUD

Couldn't you use a good 175ci block? Isn't the main difference between the 175 and 212 in the crank and rods? If the block is the problem, would this work or am I overlooking the obvious? Perhaps one of the forum experts will give us the answer.

The 175 block is the same as the 212. Just change the crank shaft, use the 212 pistons and the 212 oil pan as the 175 upper tray is set a little higher to make up for the shorter stroke. Walt.Bud

Could be done but getting everything needed is cost prohibitive in my case , better to find a 212 with good crank and cam in it . I'm in no hurry , this is to replace the engine the machine shop screwed up . I have it running and driveing it but don't trust it as I know what I had to do to salvage it , {not gonna tell,you guys would run me off !} and there is nothing more that could be done with it without at least sleeving all the bores and I'm not crazy about that idea , has piston slap noticeable at about 60 mph. It could possably run a long time if I don't go drag raceing with RANDY , but it's hard to enjoy it when every time I leave the driveway I think I might have to walk home .---BUD
