Re: WTB 356Ci Block or Replacement Motor

Posted by SteveP516 On 2020/7/27 17:00:01
Since I am having little luck finding a replacement block that would keep it in the same time period, I thought I would head in a different direction.
Since the restoration will be a touring driver, I thought about going with a later year motor that has various improvements.

I know in '41 the valve train was improved, but my question is at what is the latest year that will swap without major modifications? How many years post-war can I look for a replacement motor?
I've lost about 6 months on my rebuild trying to find an early '40 motor, so I'm exploring other options?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
