RE: [Chrysler300] Welding blocks

["'David Schwandt' finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have heard of a process called “stitching”.

I believe that was the term .

Whereby a series of holes were drilled and tapped for a plug. Then the next hole was drilled overlapping the previous hole and it was drilled tapped  and plugged and so on until the crack was “fixed”

That’s about all I can recall.

I did some research on this a number of years ago and was able to find the web site that listed contacts around the country at the time. One was fairly close as s I, recall, here in eastern Iowa.

I am also in the same fix with a 413 that was built to J spec’s including headers and a “George built” t/flite.

This was installed in a ’64 Newport back in the 70’s & 80’s. and man was it quick!!

The boys had a lot of fun with it in High school!

It’s ‘on the shelf in the shop to this day.

I replaced it with a 361 and sold it later.

Don't know about the welding, but with some creative  painting and some Plate Glass, they can make nifty Coffee tables for the shop or Man Cave.

I have two 65 Chrysler HP blocks, casing number 2468030A.  Both are cracked between the core plugs on the outside of the block.  Is it possible to have these successfully repaired and if so is there a reliable Midwest source you could recommend?  If not I plan to cart them to the salvage yard for scrap. 

 

Thanks.
