Re: Std 8 engine rebuild - 1929 or 1936?

Tim, perhaps you want to read the post again. As I read it he's asking about an interchange between two 320 c.i. engines.
Mal, lots of internal parts will interchange. I made this little list up many years back looking for spares for my 34 Eight. The list isn't very comprehensive but is perhaps of some help, sorry I didn't go back to 1929. The original style stamped cam follower arms can be interchanged with the later forged style. 34 rods are finned and babbitt and 35-36 rods are for insert bearings but otherwise should interchange. Cylinder heads interchange. Reviewing the parts books and Service Letters should reveal more though, as is the case with the pistons, having different part numbers doesn't mean the parts won't interchange.
PS: And keep in mind there was a major lubrication system upgrade for 1934, full-flow oil filter instead of the EF-2 bypass, new oil pump, larger oil passages, etc.
