My dream engine is a 140 with retarded crank, 9889 cam, new 020 pistons , 042 
base gaskets,140 heads with 2 carbs etc..things have been bucking me all 
along as i try to get the 64 greenbrier on the road.  now while putting the new 
engine together  a stud in the middle top pulled out of the block as i hit about 
30 ft lbs.thought i had all the studs fixed up in good shape , as this is the 
block that someone really screwed up. i spose ill have to take it all apart 
now to helicoil it.  foooey!   its one of the middle studs hard to get at 
unless i take the cylinder out. im planning my sneak attack on it now.   regards,
