Well a small update. (I've been a little slow working on this thing as I have been busy with customer's cars etc.)

The 400 Motor had a few issues.
#1. it was skipping badly, during some dectective work I found a broken rocker arm stud on the #7exh valve (very last one on the driver's side under the booster.
#2. I thought it was a little noisy in the bottom end. I hooked up a manual guage and found out that it had great oil pressure cold, but had 0 when hot.

So @ that point I decided to just swap out the motor. I was lucky and found a rebuilt 350 in an '81 4x4 with less than 500 miles on it. With the reciepts for all the parts and work.

Needless to say I cleaned it all up, regasketed everything as it had been sitting around for a while. I also redid the exahust as it was a "harry the hacker" setup

I also located an '83 4x4 with a correct & complete 8' plow set-up. That's the next project.

Anyway here's some pics for you to look at:
