Ok I finally got down and measured the boar and stroke 3 27/64 boar and 4” stroke

Thanks guys when I get down to the shop and I’ll measure bore and stroke and back to you thanks for the help

It’s 25” and all I was told was it came out of a Fargo pickup

Forgot to mention that all I was told was it was from a Fargo pickup

Can anyone one tell me what engine I have here ? My guess is 251 or 265 but am unsure I bought it shrink wrapped on a pallet and it was fully rebuilt

I have a Ford 8.8 with 3.55 gears out of a Ford Explorer in my 47 coupe Fit like a glove

Yes sorry about the Sb 23” and LB25” it was confusing all around lol the engine is in short block form so the covers and head are still removed and need to be installed hence why the guy called it a short block The head needs to be done still but that’s it ! Everything thing internally in the engine is brand new mint mint !! So I think it should drop in my 47 coupeEasy

Any good w30 non detergent oil is what I run usually penz

Sorry boys for not getting back in the conversation but I thought I better go see the engine for my self . So long story short the 230 was for sale on CL and I was told it was out of a Fargo and it was a 230 SB he said it was rebuild never fired . I went and looked at it tonight and wouldn’t you know ? It wasn’t a 230 it was a 251 LB and was still wrapped it the plastic from the machine shop with recipes for 2600 just in parts not including the machine shop bill !! all in all I payed 800 and left hope I didn’t over pay ??

That’s for your reply DJ but I was just wondering about putting a 23” where a 25” is currently sitting? Im guess maybe relocating engine mounts ?

Short block 230 in place of a long block 218 is it straight forward or is there some modifications to make it work ? The car is a 47 dodge coupe

I was able to get loop carpet real nice ones from Lordco auto parts in bc . they are a generic fit for multiple vehicles but they look good.

Here in Vancouver BC me and the wife have had our 47 dodge coupe out a coupe times this spring already ! The weather has been really sucky lately and I’m going threw withdrawals lol

Adam h just posted about making his own for a 230 , maybe you could ask him ? He looks like he knows what he’s doing they turned out mint !!
