Re: New project

Re: New project
Found out last night that the block needed 2 sleexes at .030 and 1 at .040 . I spent $670 on SRP pro series pistons , so 2 sleeves it is . I m also dropping off the cam for clearencing tomorrow . Crower sportsman rods and eagle lightweight 4340 crank all balanced . My neighbor came over yesterday and ask if i would help him haul off an old transmission . Turns out it is a 73' TH 350 out of his truck . He had the dealership rebuild it and the service tech talked him into a 700r4 swap and did it as a side job . Turns out the trans has only been sitting 3 years and has low miles . I'll shoot some pics of the current state of the motor and try and update .

Re: New project
wouldn't it be much cheaper to find another block?

Re: New project
Well i ask about that . The yard i got the block from doesn't have anymore 4 bolts and they only exchange . I would have to drop back to a 2 bolt main . I made 484 with this top end on a 355 . I don't expect alot more HP , but more torque and the assembly should handle 800 HP . So close to 500 on motor and 250 more nitrous , i need a 4 bolt . My machinist ( a good friend and a high school buddy ) has assured me i will never know it is there and i have run his sleeves before with no problems . Oh , and there is no S-10 build section so i put it here . Hope you don't mind as my primary purpose is to drag race it .
Visual update for saturday .Sorry for the crappy pick of the block it was in the bore machine . Pics of the lightweight forged crank and JE pro series pistons . ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: New project
Having a good buddy as a machinist, could have got a 2bolt and had him splay it. Would be better then any stock 4bolt. What ever happened to that 396 you built?

I sold the 396 with the Luv . The guys that bought the truck are strictly grudge racers so im hesitant to discuss it as it is their race program now . I will tell you that is runs good and is out of the Houston area . The truck has been repainted as the new owners have a body shop . They just bought a proven combo with all my notes and repainted it and showed up in a different area as unknowns .

Re: New project
Not much of an update , but a new picture . i welded up the oil pump pickup and installed the pan . Got a new copper washer for the oil plug . The heads are on and torqued . Timing chain cover wasn't my first choice , but i had it and it was new in the box . Hoping to have the intake and valve train buttoned up by the end of the weekend . Headers and mounts should be here soon . Plaining the install the weekend of the 25th .
