    Engine Shop

    I am wondering if anyone has a good engine shop recommendation in Seattle. I recently purchased a 66/67 240 that had been sitting since the mid 80's to swap with the worn one currently in the van. The engine had a rebuild less than 5K before it was pulled and stored due to an accident. Long story short I was hoping to flush it out and swap out the exterior parts (Manfolds, pumps, distributor, carb, etc) and get going. I pulled the head today to discover it has a bit more buildup than I had hoped (pictures below are after I shop-vac'd the top of the pistons). Cylinder 2 is the worst as pictured. I am sure it had much to do with the position of the crank and valves when stored (Perhaps the intake valve was open for 25 years?). The crank and pistons look real clean, guy said 5k was on the rebuild I would guess less.

    Anyway I would like to take the head in to have it cleaned and acid dipped and perhaps have them do the valves as well. I would also like to pull the main and pistons out and have the block cleaned and painted (While I'm this far, right?).

    Recommendations?
