Project... Tinker !!!
Well guys, as some of you know this used to be my dads truck, but recently I acquired it as of some trading around :D
Just a recap from the old thread (I just knew I had before pics, but I was wrong :() Put a 4-barrel intake on er :cool: I bead-blasted & powder-coated the intake & air filter cover,then put on some different valve covers :metal: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_07130004.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_07140005.jpg This is what Im shooting for some day :D http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...180003copy.jpg |

That is going to make one sweet build! I'm really digging the air cleaner...

Re: Project... Tinker !!!

I will be pulling the cam, intake & exhaust from Sinister (engine needs to be rebuilt) And I have some old headers laying around & I'll be using Currently Im trying to figure out what heads Ima run, but we shall know soon !!! Also Ima be swapping the trans & clutch out to a known good trans & a good clutch Some pics http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05010010.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05010008.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05010006.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05010007.jpg |

Re: Project... Tinker !!!
Well a simple project just doesnt exist does it :rolleyes:
All I wanted was to put on some dang headers !!! But after fighting with it ALL day I finally got some on The first pair didnt fit, so I had to rob Sinister of its headers And in the end I got em on... http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05020034.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05020035.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05020038.jpg I had to fix the header flanges as I drug them off in Houston :lol: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05020021.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05020023.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05020028.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05020029.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05020026.jpg |

I'm in the same Boat as You, toomanyprojects................. Rick |
Re: Project... Tinker !!!
Bummer for you
We even have a 68 stepper & we had another 67, but we sold it to HotRod80 :lol: |
Re: Project... Tinker !!!
Well I didnt get the trans swapped yet :lol:
I just have to work on my engine, its screaming "Give me a big cam !!!" So I decided to run the 305 heads & mod them to run on pump gas (its a secret), it shouldnt change my compression ration much so I should be good Also gonna put the cam out of Sinister in it & for those of you who heard Sinister, will know how radical it sounded in a engine that is 67ci bigger !!! :metal: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05010004.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05010005.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05030001.jpg |

Re: Project... Tinker !!!
Kinda figured you knew !! Just wanted to make shure . I know know body told me the first time and I pulled almost every stud !! Your heads look great !! Keep up the good work and let your dad work on his truck to once in a while:lol::lol: Bob
|
Re: Project... Tinker !!!
Thanks for the compliments on the heads, I worked my butt off on those suckers :lol:
Now I just gotta figure out what cam to run... Im just baffled as to why my cam ground away like that :crazy: |
Re: Project... Tinker !!!
When you installed that cam the first time, did you idle the engine on the firs startup or did you keep it abouve 1200 rpm for 30 minutes? If you dont keep it above 1200 you will round the lobes off.

Re: Project... Tinker !!!
I dont know, my brother built the engine
I know he's about as picky as me & I dont think that would be what caused it, but I wasnt there so IDK The thing that gets me is, he had it in one other engine when it was new & he said it sounded the same & he was trying to figure out why because its only supposed to be a 268H cam, so Im pretty sure he looked it over before he put it in my engine Besides, its not all the lobes, just 2 of them are real bad & 2 more are getting bad, the rest of them look fine :| |
Re: Project... Tinker !!!
Btw i have a spare 350 cam with the lifters you can have if you want it, there hardly any wear on it.
|
Re: Project... Tinker !!!
Pm sent

Re: Project... Tinker !!!
I have a thought on your cam . If your brother didn't keep track of where the lifters came from as in order . If you mix em up after you remove em this will also cause them to eat themselves . Just a thought . Bob
