I just scrapped my 240 block that was .060 w/ #5 cylinder cracked. The crank is .010/.010, I still have it and the rods/pistons. Look at the back of the bearing shell(rod and main) it should say the oversize. Even if its .020 under and needing a grind dont be afraid of .030....it will be just fine. ...

It's my understanding that the 240 and 300 are the same block. I have a std/std 300 block crank and rods. I also have the 240 head from a 1970 F100 I scrapped. SO I am going to build it for something....just a bit confused on what!? Either engine will be great for you. But a 300 will probably be eas...

I know the mileage is going to suck. I do however have a 300 in the 'building' stage along with a t18. If I could squeeze 15mpg out of the truck, I would be happy. I LOVE my Jeep, but I too like these trucks. As for the little gremlins that pop up, my plan was to pull the truck down, go through the ...
