Any suggestions on finding a b23ft or late b230ft? 700 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Elliott Freis on  Thu Sep 27 07:08 CST 2001 [RELATED]

TIme has come to start looking for the engine that I will build out, hopefully to around 200hp. Since I want the engine to last a long time, I was planning on rebuilding a early b23ft (yea i know, rare) or buying a late b230ft. Does anyone have any suggestions on finding one of these engines? Should I not bother? The current b230 I have (89' block) has a piston slap, but other than that runs great. Compression is perfect, engine is clean, absolutly sings up to 6300rpm. My worry is the badly placed crank bearing.

Any thoughts from all the rest of you builders out there?

Thanks to all,

-Elliott
