Won 262 I-6
FTEr's
Well now that I've won the '64 262 I-6 on e-bay I'm waiting to see what S&H is going to be.
Keep your fingers crossed that the Seller tries to get the best deal he can on the S&H, otherwise I'm going to have to makes some calls to see what I can come up w/.
The '64 262 I-6 short block I found in Idaho was trashed, but it looks as if I might have a spare crank/cam shafts & timing gears at least from it.
Wish me luck, I believe I'm going to need it.
Cheers

Update
And now my bad news, According to J.M.S., the Builders that have my supposed 262, it's not, so they state.
It's a Twice rebuilt, .40 overbored '64 223 w/ a trashed Crank.
I'm really Ticked Off if this indeed the case.
So it looks as if I'm still in the market for a '64 262 I-6.

I'm kind of lost, but if I understand right, the 64 from idaho is not a 262. So the extra crank and parts won't work and you paid all that money for crap. You have located another 262 and are awaiting s&h costs. Did I understand you correctly?
Since I don't know jack, I'm assuming the 262 is externally identical to a 223? Flashy, good luck, I will keep my eyes peeled for one. -4speed

The Idaho purchased '64 262 Short Block so far has not been able to be torn down due to the rust that has siezed up the pistons.
I found & won what was supposed to be a '64 262 complete Long Block from a College student in Ill. Well after tearing it down & looking at the cast #'s & Mic'ing the cylinders it turns out to be a 'Totally trashed '63 223 overbored to .040.
So, So far I've been Hosed 3 times now on engines for my truck & I Am Completely & Totally Ticked Off!

Take the crank out and soak the pistons with kroil, kerosene or any other penetrating solution. Let it set for a week or so and keep adding to it. Take a block of oak and a 4 pound hand sledge and work with the pistons,,,easy until they move a touch. Should be able to get the pistons loose.
