my wintertime time killer
so my engine crapped out again, i cant complain much it last a couple of years and i bought it straight from the junk yard and put it straight into my truck. so this time thanks to dad (sammy) we found a 350 on craigslist. The guy that had it acquired when buying out a garage and didnt know anything about the engine. it looked like a fresh rebuild with assembly lube visible visible in all the right places. it was minus the intake, oil pump, valve covers and oil pan. So a deal was struck and we took it home, it even came with the engine stand. so now to the fun part removing the old and in with the new. even with heat in the garage there hasnt been many decent days to mess with it but here is pics to show what we have done up to now.

Re: my wintertime time killer
the numbers show a 4 bolt main truck engine, the heads are from a 400, we have been slowly adding parts to it from the old to the new, you can see half of the serpentine set up here

Re: my wintertime time killer
Nice weather 75 today. Added the other Serp bracket, WP, cleaned the Intake up with some cleaning n paint, used a can of carb cleaner on the carb. Alls left before install is torque the intake, add the PS Pump, finish installing the Dampner (need to rent the tool), plugs n wires and dist., and adj the valves. Clean n prep the truck frame of gunk.
See if I have an update pic. Fram is for intial run. #8 Rod on the ol motor is toast with about 1/16th inch of play.

Re: my wintertime time killer
Looks good man. Parents just ordered a camper from down by you guys. Did you get it all put together? Oh and did you get an exhaust with a little higher ground clearance put in?

Re: my wintertime time killer
http://platinumparts.com/da-1698-2100002.aspx here is one but I didn't see a price. You can always get a part number off one of the sites and shop around or even order thru your local guy too. Good Luck.

Re: my wintertime time killer
Actually have run into a stumble..not sure yet about the valve adjustment and timing. Very hard to determine TDC with a serp system masking the timing mark. Battery giving us fits and my charger went dead. But shes pumping oil. Will revisit this W/E with the setback.

Re: my wintertime time killer
NP..yeah I'm going to look at battery chargers that are on sale tomorrow. Maybe you can send some dry Tx weather up this way so I can get something done on Firedogs Trk.
