This is along my level of knowlege, but I need more information as to how much bare metal is showing, what grit of sandscratch are you trying to work with, what your final topcoat will be, and what your budget will allow etc.

I have one of these engines, with Jakes (which I've never driven) and was wondering if this engine is a good candidate for my daughter's B61 project. The truck has a double over tri-plex trans with a 4.25 rear, on 22 inch rubber. I would like input from persons with experience both from the driver's seat, and maintenance personell, with this series of engine. It is a two valve head edition, and is a 1982 model year from a WS series Mack. It does run well, (on a stand) but I have not actually driven it.

I'm looking for good, usable, and unbiased input before I "freshen" this motor up prior to installation into the chassis. Please include any pros, and cons, to the issue.

Thanks for your time.
