Wish me luck.
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. |

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... |

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.

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?

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.... |
