So I went to work on the bronco, the water pump was leaking around the edge. pulled all the crap off, found the bolt near the leak was not tight, I would not tighten up! threads stripped, went to get jb weld/filler some thing along that lines. got tap and hel coil to fix it right! got back took it all apart, and there is a CHUNK of the block missing just in side the water port! no way to fix that! now what?
1st idea
dill hole in block next to water pump, make some kind of clamp to hold/bolt corner of water pump down?
2nd idea
take the 2 blocks and buildd one new engine, (more money then I have now)

Ches see my reply in the july BS thread, I will come down tomorrow and buy it back. I have my 351M block that is good, has a sticking valve issue?? Maybe a head/valve job??

To small to make out, and so is the print, but is the black thing the water pump and the blue thing the block?
Are you comparing it to your old block?

Ches when we were working on my 351M outa the Bronco, I was tightening a bolt on the L/H side of the water pump.(when facing the eng)
And I thought it stripped, Alan said it was one of two that only go into the thin metal plate that covers the timing set?
You know the one between the block and the water pump?
Is this the one that is stripped on you? Just a thought and trying to make the situation better?
