Like it is trying to find hens teeth here in NZ as it is also with 348 & 409s.
This weekend i was lucky enough to pick up a 348 and will be installing it in to my 59 wagon.
It has been bored to .030 with crank to 10 - 10.
Pistons that have come with it are .030 cast - see pic
Cam - Hyd - see pic
Block - 3755011
Heads - 3758379 these are buggered, need replacements
So here's the big thing, I want a nice hauling / cruzing motor that will have a bit of get-up and go.
What ideal heads would one suggest as a replacements (don't want alloy for this motor).
What are your views on the pistons and cam that have come with it!
I will also be adding a tripower set-up to it and all hooked up to a turbo 350.
Can't remember what the current rear gear ratio is.
I have the manifolds with engine to but thinking of going with headers.
Any other suggestions, gratefully received.
Not wanting a high performance for this one.
Thanks for your opinions in advance.
