Wanted; engine block
I had a catastrophic failure of the #2 rod and I'm now in the market for an engine block for my 1927 Roadster. The current engine is a 1925, my hogs head had the ears cut off by a previous owner,

Re: Wanted; engine block
it is hard finding a good crack free 26-7 block, pay close attention for cracks between 2-3 in valve chamber and cracks from exhaust valve into cylinders.

Joe is spot on! We have at least (9) 26-7 blocks that are unusable without sleeving & seats & at least 3 that have no hope for repair without spending crazy money to repair.

Re: Wanted; engine block
More and more we are seeing ".. is getting hard to find". We used to hear, "just get another one, there's plenty around" I keep saying we can't just keep discarding when we don't find a buyer right away. On the other hand, I realize we can't expect others to be the keepers of our gatherings.
I have a large, very organized inventory and I am afraid of the outcome if I toast or can't command.

Re: Wanted; engine block
I have found an engine block, and can use my old hogs head, even though it has the ears cut off. I'd replace it if I found one in the Portland area for a reasonable price....
