Hi All, I recently received a couple old Chrysler engines P18 (1949) and T112 (1941-1947). Both came with bellhousings and transmissions. The T112 is an IND5 model with the brass tag. As I deal mainly with Jeep I plan to be parting out these blocks on my eBay store. Is anyone here looking for any particular part? Thanks, stardog

Hi, Here is a pic of the crack. stardog

Hi Ken and Bryan, Pics of block and cracked area. Under the scale is the crack. I didn’t get a pic once the area was cleaned. I’ll get one and add later on. Thanks, stardog

Hello All, I make myself busy rebuilding old engines. This time I got a D24 Engine and started with the tear down. Upon inspection of the block I found (under the gack and dirt) that the block has quite the large crack. Has anyone attempted to cut out and weld in a patch for the block? Crack is located at bottom of the 1-2 cylinder bores at lowest point of the water jacket. Crack is about 5-6 inches long. Thoughts? I have not welded an engine block before. Thanks all, stardog
