70's relic destroyed

[shinyribs]

And for the record, a Ford 300-6 is one of my two all time favorite engines. The two most dependable and durable engines ever built was the Ford 300-6 and the 350 Chevrolet. I have never saw any pre-1975 ish engines(when electronic ignitions came out) go over 200,000 miles without a rebuild...except the mighty 300 or the 350.

Ford and Chevy were crazy to discontinue those two engines!

I need to find that pic of a front engine dragster with a 6-71 blown alky 300-6 on it. It looked wild with the blower hanging off to one side Ran pretty dang good for missing two cylinders

Pistons expand and contract during normal operation,but you know that. You still have to bore your jugs right? So actual piston slap will not an issue for you since you'll actually be machining for those pistons. The rattle I was actually talking about is,I have seen guys deburr little scratches like you mentioned and get so carried away that they flat spot an area and it made the piston rattle in the same bore it used to fit in. You'll be fine. Dont let anything i said concern you. I talk too much and shoulda just been quiet.

well yeah i wasnt worried about the piston slap thing..click on the link on my previous post..will those piston rings work?..they say they are for 64.75 mm pistons and im getting a reading of 64.66 on the pistons i have.

Not sure about that. The listing says they only fit Powroll pistons. Not sure what all that means,really. Maybe they have different size lands?  The diameter sounds about right,but a set of file fits would be the way to go if they are available.

  I'd ad An Ole Pont. slant 6 (belt not cam "chain")to those two other for great Ole engines,Theres A great

I really don't even know what powroll means, so... As far as the file fit, I dunno. On our V8's ring that are flies fit are listed as such.  Don't know about these motors.

powroll is just a brand of piston..they dont make stuff for 750s anymore..

You can sand them by HAND with some #600 carborundom sandpaper to get the scratches smooth.

With water.
