Wet engine, use, rebuild or trash?
Hi,
I have a 289 with 302 heads from a 65 mustang that had just been rebuilt and bored it was sitting under a car port on a engine stand when the hurricane blew through and removed the car port. The manifold was off the engine so the engine literally filled with water. I didn’t get around to doing anything with the engine for several months so it sat in this state for a while. Should I junk it or try and rebuild it? How extensive of a rebuild should it be? of should I just try and free it up and go with it?
Thanks
