Scored a Mirror 105 engine. put on engine stand, knocked the engine down to just bare block. put it in my truck to take to engine shop and sometihing fell as I was unbolting the block from the stand. picked it up and it was a piece of the block where the starter bolts up. Found someone who said they could repair the block for $500.00. Anyone ever have to repair this typoe of damage? anyone run the engine without repairing this? bolt starter to bell housing without block support?
you will see me at 16 y/o racing a red Mustang. I am in 1965 Ford Galaxie 390/4SPD/ he pulls me off the line. He-slicks-headers, me pure stock 7:75 X 15 tires, no traction. I did catch him on the top end and passed him. no sound
