1962 or 63. They're strong runners and purr like a kitten when they run right. But I hope you have a few shares of Exxon. They suck gas like it's still cheap, and they're not known for speed.
78, If it got water in the cylinders, it is possible that it needs new head gaskets, at least. You might like to check for availability of these, and parts in general. The good news is that motor shares a lot of parts (especially ignition parts) with other v-4s over many years.
