Re: Project... Rusty but Trusty
You might guess that Matt keeps me pretty busy with all his projects. LOL
Hope to get this one going by the end of the year. Just need to swap out the engine. And get the title straightened out. And do the bed wood, etc. Lee

Re: Project... Rusty but Trusty
What transmission?
How neat on the crossmember removal? What do I/we need to swap. For those reading and don't know, I'm working in Casper, WY currently and Matt is in Texas. Lee

Re: Project... Rusty but Trusty
Well I was thinking putting in the I-6 I painted up for Sano
And in an effort not to make it too much of a project I was thinking leaving the 3-ott in it with a new clutch ![]() |

Re: Project... Rusty but Trusty
I have RBT (67 short narrow), Agent (67 long wide), un-named future project (72 short wide) and a 68 short narrow for sale.
So 4 in the 67-72 range. And a 69 Burb. I only own 1 parts truck, and one day hope to find enough parts to put it together also. Also a variety of 73 and newer. I also have a few 70s and 80s Dodges. This doesn't count what Spray-Bomb (Matt) owns. Lee

Re: Project... Rusty but Trusty
Well guys here is a progress report (sorry it took so long, I kept forgetting my camera at the shop)
We started by pulling the old 250 out, that had a busted block & mixed oil in water & water in oil ![]() Then we started putting the "new" 250 integrated head in, when we noticed that the POS exhaust came out in the way of the Z-bar bracket, so we had to make a new one Then once it was all in we figured out that when we changed to the V-8 clutch that we should have used a short throwout bearing ![]() So I had to pull the trans back & swap them out & re-adjust the clutch But now it is running & driving, inspected & will be tagged tomorrow ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Project... Rusty but Trusty
Glad you got it going.
Does it seem solid? What did you do for exhaust?

Re: Project... Rusty but Trusty
Still need to hook up the vacuum advance & time it correctly, but it runs ok
And I hooked up the stock exhaust for getting it legal, & till I can make something better / cooler Need to double check the clutch adjustment, as it still grinds a bit going into gear |

Re: Project... Rusty but Trusty
Does grind just when going into first or reverse? Or does it grind also when shifting from 1st to 2nd and/or 2nd to 3rd?

Re: Project... Rusty but Trusty
Does anyone know on the exhaust preheat flapper valve thingy.
Does the vacuum open it or close it? Which way would the arm need to be for normal "warmed up" operation, no preheat?
