Re: Thunda Babe
It was an unknown block. I was told it was a runner. I picked it up at a farm clearing sale with two other engines and five gearboxes for $150. Now I know!

Re: 1962 Seacraft
Yes Bob, the more you look and the more you find. Every frame that came out was broken. The only thing that stopped the engine from going through was the keel and the plysheets. All the ply sheet screws were rotten also so it says a lot for the glue.
