Hey guys....still have the engine. It's an 83 Windsor....4 bbl....I have not disassembled the engine yet.

It came out of a steel mill 3/4 ton truck. My guess is that it hardly has any miles on it....but has been run a lot. The guy said it was smoking....so I'd say the rings are shot due to excessive idling and lugging around. It's never been rebuilt....so my guess would be that the crank is fine....may need a .010/.010......

I may be able to get it apart this week.

As for the heads....they are 83's too....make me an offer....I'm flexible with it.
