Curious as to the crank quality of that era. Are the heads from a Mexican motor worth anything other than scrap value? My turbo motor, used in the Sunbeam, was damaged when my twin turbo setup lost a boost control hose and boost went to around 20 psig and to more than 400 dF on the charge air temp. Killed 3 pistons on that run, lol. And scored the dookey out of those 3 cylinder walls. I buffed out the cylinders but now beyond any reasonable repair and so I may stick the new pistons and rods into the 302 block after a 0.030 over bore operation. My Crank was also damaged a bit as well during the turbo excursion. Hence the Mexican crank question. The turbo motor has all the good internal parts and those would be transferred over to the Mex block. Then offered for sale after maybe a dyno session to get hp and tq. A large Holley would be used rather than efi however. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts or answers on the Mexican crank?
