    PT Pump Swap Question

    For starters, the NTC 350 is a stripped engine. thus the bell housing adapter, oil filter housing and plumbing, injection pump (350 kinda locked up) compressor likely isnt any good. the 250 will have to give up its crank shaft to the 350 as the story on the 350 is that it tossed a rod.(I cant...
