Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet

well it's good and bad, the pistons are all back in for the 3rd time minus one and the ring is cheap, also I got my headers in, rear brake kit(minus wheel cylinders), porterbuilt firewall kit my piston ring compressor is still under warranty(the cause of the broken ring and my paranoid self triple checking), the electrician is coming over tomorrow night so I may have my mig welder setup working by mid friday if the bottle issue is resolved(trying to speed up the credit app) and the rain has slowed so it could be a flurry of updates over the next few days if I get this mig figured out quick haha

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet

more progress, issues with my intake now though, seems like I may have a bad set of heads, shoulda known, the $500 I saved on pro comps would bit me in the end guess my 383 short block will be getting a set of darts

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet

oil pan and timing cover on last night, installed the guide plates and rocker studs but changed my mind on the pro crap products so they will be replaced tomorrow with ARP, the thicker gaskets seemed to correct the intake issue, hoping I get it in the truck tomorrow evening without anymore hold ups

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet

motor is going in tomorrow but they forgot my rocker stud nuts with the order, frost plugs tomorrow and it's ready for engine mounts and headers, got my distributor in but it's in need of a twist by the looks of it, it is however pointed correctly under the cap from the manual, now I need to go back to work so I can afford the rest of the parts The Fel Pro 1266 thick intake gasket solved the intake issue so that's a plus, now I wanna hear it run but can't afford the carb for a bit and the super shorty headers will need exhaust or I will burn the paint off the frame

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet

you bet, thanks, will be nice to get onto bodywork, if everything works out I'm going to run the exhaust to start it without melting paint, hard to look at that thing and not start it to break in the cam and set the timing etc

I have an engine test stand in the garage chilling out with nothing on it. If you want it come and get it.

You've come a long way. But the time is worth it.
Keep up the great work

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet

Thanks, I'm about to go back to work full time so it still could be on the road by next summer if all works out. Haven't even been in the garage for a few days, nice weather for wakeboarding and a 2day tattoo convention had me preoccupied but should be back at it tomorrow after some meetings. Shoot any paint yet?
