will 78 jugs fit a 77 engine?
« on: May 01, 2014, 04:46:10 PM »
Hey guys wanted to know if 78 750k cylinder jugs will fit a 77 750k engine?
snapped off a bolt in my jugs and then snapped off two drill bits and an easy out inside of the bolt. :(
No machine shops in my area will touch it.

Is there enough of the bolt exposed to weld another hex bolt to the end, then turn that?

If not, EDM will remove that bolt. Not cheap, but the only sure fire way to get it out-

Nope. I made quite the mess of it to. I"m pretty sure the threads are messed up now.

77 and 78 engines are compatible with each other.  I am not sure how identical they are to the F Super Sport engines but they are similar. There are some differences between these K7-K8 motors and the K0-K6 engines.

77/78 K engines are basically F Super Sport engines from 75/76
