[VintageLambo] Engine #2410

I spent the day cleaning the spare engine, #2410.I found head casting dates of 25-9-67 (Sept 67) and 10-7-67 (July 67). The crank/rods had already been removed and stored in a plastic bag, which is good, not rusty. There were no pistons given to me.I removed the carbs and cleaned the cams up on a wire wheel.Wire brushed most of the aluminum oxidation off external parts easily. Removed one head using Jack"s prying method, other head is stubborn. Light rust on cylinder walls, rust on the lifters (?), rust on thecam lobes and journals.I am more concerned with rust on the lifter which migh chew up the cams lobes, and rust on the cam journals which would chew the aluminum caps/head.Comments? The carbs are DCOE 20/21s, air horns were quite rusty.Linkages turn freely.It is a single ignition engine. And, I beleive that #586 is a Mexico delivery car, Kilos speedo, Amber tailights, and Jerry mentioned it came from there. Aaron (400GT #586 + ??engine #2410) ps.Off to surf the ILR for possible # match _______________________
