I am pulling 3 motors and installing one this weekend. By sunday night I hope to have my 355 in my 70 with my new Turbo400 behind it.

I get to pull the motor and tranny out of the 72 parts truck for the core on T400

Pull the 355 out of my 71

pull the 250 out of the 70

Install the 355 in the 70.

I think the time frame should be no problem... but I have bad luck sometimes and my time frames get extended....hopefully I have thought of everything ahead of time this time... each one gets easier and easier.

JayDubBlazer · 01-23-2004, 04:07 PM

good luck and you better get some no-doez and jolt

Suicide-D · 01-23-2004, 04:11 PM

mmmmm caffeine

and a bonus I have air tools this time... all my other swaps have been of the manual variety...

this will make the 3rd rig that 355 has been in.

scotts67 · 01-23-2004, 04:19 PM

skokie · 01-23-2004, 04:52 PM

outlawchevy · 01-23-2004, 07:16 PM

krue · 01-23-2004, 08:02 PM

Good luck, sounds like fun.

Suicide-D · 01-23-2004, 08:06 PM

I will take my camera and snap a few. I just paid for the tranny and picked up some 2.5 exhaust pipe to fab up some exhaust.

I'll check in with an update tonight...

dinnut · 01-23-2004, 08:07 PM

what is the deal with the 355? is it a .030 over 350? or how do you make it a 355? i hear about them and wonder sometimes.

Suicide-D · 01-23-2004, 08:10 PM

yes it's a 30 over 350

MMGOODIE · 01-23-2004, 08:19 PM

Boz-all was in action tonight also....cut the exhaust off and few other little items

stepside71 · 01-24-2004, 05:12 AM

Suicide-D · 01-24-2004, 10:47 AM

6 hours sleep...and i'm back at it

Blue Beard · 01-24-2004, 11:00 AM

Surprised you have enough spare time for 6 hours sleep........

But lets face it, you're not back at it sitting at the computer........or do you have a computer in the shop?

Suicide-D · 01-25-2004, 04:30 AM

I check in when I walk out the door and when I walk back in (after my shower)...

I got the second one done today...now the tough one tommorrow

Suicide-D · 01-26-2004, 12:58 AM

pulled the 6...it sure is tougher when you leave the core support in place...

Suicide-D · 01-26-2004, 01:01 AM

and got the 355 all bolted up in there. I was worried the driveshaft wouldn't work but it did...

I still need to fab the exhaust and finish a few little items.

I would have a running truck right now but my help had a 6 hour call out at work yesterday so I was stuck solo....

Suicide-D · 01-26-2004, 01:03 AM

I accomplished the goals I set for myself so I am happy.
