Is this engine rebuildable?

[Arkansawer]

Hey everyone, im wondering if this motor has any chance of running again. There isnt any heads on the motor and rust inside the cylinders and everywhere else. Also, is this the 292 Y block, or the 352?

I figured id ask here, as yall have done some amazing stuff with engines, especially originals. [cl

With the distributor ine back,I think it's a Y block and not a 352. I don't know if it's savable or not.

You can save it probably, but at what cost? The time spent or money spent to clean it up might be more than it's worth. If it hasn't been bored the cylinders should clean up, you might have to bust the pistons out.
I wouldn't want to start piecing an old engine together though.

It could probably run again, but it would be better in my opinion to start with another motor. One that had pretty much everything on it. Some of those parts can be hard to find. Stuff like head bolts, rocker arms, shafts and special bolts for the stands.

Cannot rebuild it, pm me and I will come get it off the property for you.

I would look for another engine, at least one that has all of its parts, soaking it in vinegar for a couple of days will take the rust off, but then you'll still have some serious pitting, and like RPM said the search for the small parts will beat you up pretty bad.

Hmmm, i guess ill just move on then, lol.

Railroad, its up in NE Arkansas, you can get the entire truck for a couple hundred.

It's a 292.
Did you look around for the rest of it?
Maybe the guy stashed all the parts somewhere. Looks like the rust isn't fatal, if you really want a Y it could be worth buying. The truck itself might have 200 beans worth of salvageable parts on it.

Boat anchor...........

Thats my thoughts lol.

If it was a rare or more desirable engine then probably. I dont think it is worth it, you can find a better one. If it was a Hemi or something like that it may be worth it.
