    1963 special v6 / 3-speed manual mixing gas in oil

    hello everyone!

    im new to this forum, and i hope anybody can help me.

    i am from germany, so please excuse me, if my english is wrong sometimes.
    i bought a 1963 special sedan with the v6 engine and a 3 speed manual tranmission. the seller told me it stood in his barn since 16 years, and it doesnt start because of ignition problems. so i took it on a trailer and brought it home.
    so when it tried starting it, it ran for about 2 mins very rough. there has been a noise (like knocking from valves.
    so i checked the oil again, and it was much more than before i tried starting it. it smelled like fuel.
    so when i removed the oil, it was mixed with fuel.
    does anybody know what could be wrong?
    and for the worst case of a broken engine: does anybody know which engine will fit the original transmission without big changes? do the 90s v6 engines fit?

    Sounds like your fuel pump has a broken diaphragm that is leaking gas into the crankcase when it is pumping

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! removed the fuel pump and the diaphragm was broken. took a can and let some fuel flow through a hose into the carburator. worked great.
