Hey, heres my dilemma:
I have a friend that is going to give me a bread van with a 4bt in it for free! problem is the motor doesn't run(reason unknown other than head is missing). So with unknown engine condition and no head. I was thinking of taking the whole setup and scrapping the van for some $$ and using that money to help fund a engine overhaul. How does this sound to you? I don't know what all is involved in rebuilding one of these (do they have cylinder sleeves?). And what kit could i buy? and what head to buy?
Basically I'm looking to find out how much money I'm looking spend rebuilding it, assuming i can do most of it myself.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
