Re: My 58 Brookwood
The problem was that even with 7.4 pushrods and the rockers adjusted all the way up. The valve train was just way to tight.
my Solution is to make 1/8" spacers to place under the pedestals.

Re: My 58 Brookwood
we spent all day making these spacers to try to salvage the rockers, but it looks as if they won’t work!

Re: My 58 Brookwood
This is the LS3 all buttoned up
Can anyone tell me if the steam tubes have to be in front? I’ve converted them to 4AN. This is a real 6.2, just over 500hp!

Re: My 58 Brookwood
Pulled the old 250/3 speed out. Making way for the LS3!
Empty engine bay. I will be converting from manual steering to a CCP Power gearbox. I will also be converting to dual reservoir power disk up front

Re: My 58 Brookwood
Watching carefully! I have a 59 brookwood that burns as much oil as it leaks. Planning a 5.3 so I’m excited to see how your project goes. Love those old wagons! Keep the updates coming and thanks for sharing.

He also got the pedal assembly about 95% removed. Tomorrow he’ll finish that, remove the steering column, and the gas pedal.

Re: My 58 Brookwood
We cut the bump for the master and steering column. Removed all the Wiring in the engine bay, and removed any clutch/throttle linkage.
This is the steering column I bought for it.

Re: My 58 Brookwood
We welded in that firewall patch to smooth it out.
Then we modified an S10 brake pedal assembly to work We wound up using part of the 58's pedal assembly to get it to be bolt-on.

Re: My 58 Brookwood
The Brake pedal and booster are in. We may need to go With a smaller diameter booster because it contacts the hood hinge.
