I managed to sell the OG 4-speed (without shifter) for $100 on CL...

A customer needed a flange made out of 1/2" plate, for a 280Z ... Which gained me another $50 .....
-

-
This scored me a Clip off a 78 !! No money outta pocket is sooo nice...

The guy wanted $50 for the crossmember, and $125 for the PS box and pump.....I would of spent some time at P n P hand wrenching a crossmember off, considering the entire suspension would have to be removed, and would still been charged at least $50...

So he gave it all to me for $150

Moving on to the 292 ....
-
-
Removed some externals, and brought them to the shop for some cabinet time...

-
Looks like this engine was on the verge of an attack...

NOW FOR SOME BAD NEWS ......

-
-
Before I resealed the engine, I went ahead and ran a compression test on it...which resulted in some LOW numbers....
-
-

-
-
Compression is at about HALF of what it should be.....Well, this will definately slow the engine "detailing" down a bit...

-
-
Gonna weld a air fitting to an old spark plug and perform a leak down, but Im sure it will recieve a full overhaul....

Great looking burb John! That sucks about the compression results.

**ChiefRocka** · 08-12-2012, 02:01 PM

Ya.... the engine is the original from my '63 C-10.

Even thought the compression is low, it was pretty close thru all six....Thus it gave it a decent idle.

I never drove the truck because the Powerglide was bad.

So I pulled it out, and it sat untill I decided to use it as a temporary powerplant for the Burb.

Well, now I'm gonna have to build it. Regardless, it'll wind up back in the truck someday.

My buddy hooked me up with this too ....
