On our way back from sudbury, got a little something following us back. http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAdLargeI ... =516653021
It's pretty clean, appears to be a true bridgeport. Gonna be sweet :D

Came with a lower and got it for less. The power head does appear to be a Bridgeport, took a little look and it looks right. The cowl is pretty much mint and weights almost nothing.

Gonna be going onto my Valero project whenever I get that done. Looking to do the rebuild myself if the damage isn't too bad.

Its definitely a bridgeport, pulled the heads and its proper. It appears that it caught a ring on #4 and chunked the port of the sleeve. So ill need a head, sleeve and a piston, other then that the motor seems pretty solid. No grinding from bad bearings in the bottom end, the other bank of cylinders look pretty dam good. Looks like its lived a few lives though, sleeves down the port side not sure about the starboard, when it looked fine i didnt look any farther.

Got some pictures to put up tonight. The piston that let go looks like the rings caught an intake and an exhaust port, chunked the sleeve and part of the block. Question is can this be fixed by re-sleeving or welding then machining to proper size or is the block toast?

kinda hard to see the port damage because of the angle, it took quite the chunk out from the looks of it.
