New to me 1940 Canadian D16 project update

Hi guys,

 

Lots to say...  

 

The car was nowhere as near to running as it was supposed to be...

The motor was seized and when broken free the cylinders were very badly pitted.

The motor wich was not original to the car was the smallest of the 25.5 bloc, a 4 1/16 stroke 218 so i did not feel like it was worth my time to rebuild.

 

I found an industrial 265 out of a portable water pump to replace it.

That motor turned out to be in GREAT shape with everyting perfect exept for a borderline timing chain.

So I will be using it but... I cant leave well enough alone... So I will be putting a triple carb intake, dual exhaust, HEI ignition, more compression and reground cam  :)

I am VERY lucky to have a local shop with lots of NOS parts where I found a new timing chain and 10 inch clutch disc and pressure plate that bolt directly on my 218 flywheel ( wich I will lighten ).

So now I have a few parts out for powder coat and still waiting for the cam but should be reassembling very soon :)

 

More to follow.

Francois,

    We seem to be taking a similar approach on our 265 engines!

you will need to use the rear sump oil pan from your 218 as well as the oil pickup and the dip stick   . It all fits.
