So I have my stroker motor apart and have not picked a direction to follow with the rebuild and I want to drive the car so I bought a 47000 mile stock long block from someone on this forum. My plan is to spend minimal money on this motor and just get it in the car and get it running so I can drive it. The motor came from a running car but sat for a couple of years. I have removed the oil pan and front cover and see no problems. Still has the stock timing gear setup etc. So at a minimum I am going to replace the front and rear main seals and the timing set.
What else should I do?
Should I get a leak down tester to be sure the headgaskets are still ok?
Should I do anything to the oil pump/front cover?
Stock cam and lifters look great so I am not changing those.
Not looking to run really fast or beat on this motor, just want to be able to drive my car.
I appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Brian
