Bob is correct. Thr 32 engine uses a diffrent crank, and a bunch of other stuff. Why not just get a correct block? Give John Cislak a call, he may take the other blocks in trade. He has a bunch of motors at the shop. It’s worth a call. In an open Pierce using the wrong engine will cost you 15 to 25 percent off the top when the car is finished. Details matter on the high end cars. Also, shouldn’t the school be teaching students do it the right way the first time? Just because something is difficult does not mean you shouldn’t try and make it right. Too many good cars have major defects, I see it ALL the time. I look at lots of cars for people, a 30 PA open car with the wrong engine would make me pass on the car. Just my 2 cents.
