WTB a 153 Chevy 4 banger

When I was a kid in the 1950's I helped my uncle rebuild one of those poured babbitt rod bearing engines while in the truck. He cleaned most of the babbit out and used a leather strap to make rod bearings. It worked. I can not remember how long it lasted, however it did last the weekend we used the truck to haul cotton to the gin.
The good ole days.

I am almost certain we have a running mercruiser Chevy 4 cyl. Pm me if you want me to dig it out.
