Howdy Kenney.<br /><br />Your engine is a 1961.<br /><br />You can probably replace it for a lot less than a rebuild but you will get some advice on how to repair the leak without tearing her down.<br /><br />Good luck.

Re: bad cylinder

thnx JB . so your saying i can "maybe get the block repaird as in welding the out side of the block to seal a small water leak.just as long as its / the leak isnt running through the cylinder. just if the crack dosnt run throu a cylinder
