model A engine

Posted by Durward on February 12, 1997 at 20:24:23

I bought a '29 2 dr. sedan which had set for many years.
When I dissassembled the engine I found it had been assembled
without a head gasket.The deck was badly pitted, but the
engine had not been run to any extent(the pistons are std.
size).It was clean and the components in the bottom end
looked new.My question is can I use these components in
rebuilding another block.The con rod bearings look new.
The cam does not look stock. It has sharp lobes somewhat
higher than in the other engine I have.The valve
springs have more coil loops but the diameter of the coil wire
is smaller than stock.Would it be advisable to use these
components in rebuilding the other block?
