Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
When I got the motor back home I noticed a lot of back and forth play on the balancer. I figured id better swap out the timing chain while it was on the stand. Good thing I took the front cover off because I noticed somebody put in one of the cheapest timing sets ever and the plastic cam gear and chain were shot! The backside of the cam gears thrust surface was also ground right down and the cam was walking back and forth at least .200 and was even hitting the timing chain cover. So after seeing all that I had to pull the intake off to inspect the cam and distributor gear. Now I get to see that a few of the cam lobes were wiped out and it wouldn't have lasted much longer! Hmmm so thats a pretty good excuse to tear down and choose a nice cam and maybe go through and replace or inspect all the bearings. Heres a few pics of how far I got today! In the pics you can see how far off center the lifter on the lobe is ( it's actually hitting the lobe beside it) and in the last pic you can see the lobe damage.

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
So the Summit order came in on friday! I had a busy week going through the engine. I managed to dissasemble the bottom end and check all the bearings and clearances and they looked and measured really good! While I was there I changed the rear main seal and a few of the frost plugs that had rust around them. I flushed the block with cleaner and reassembled with new cam bearings, cam, lifters, push rods, double roller timing chain, valve springs/seals. Unfortunately I don't have many pics of that stuff since I was pretty greasy and didn't have my camera near.

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
Took all the loose parts to the hot tank then reassembled and prepped the motor for paint! I also decided to clean up the trans and paint it along with the motor. If all goes well I should be painting sometime this week! I'm going to try spraying out the POR-15 Chevy orange high-temp paint so we shall see how that goes?

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
Oh ya that’s a heavy intake alright! Darn thing weights 50lbs! I thought about putting a alum one on but I’d like to keep that factory bbc look.

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
I finally managed to get the choppin block parts together and aligned to my frame rails! Since everything was pre-fit it wasn't to bad but it still took a little work not to scratch up anything on reassembly. I got up to the point of installing the rack then i took a break to finish up the rear gear install as a few parts came in.

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!
Happy New year to the forum and anyone following this thread! I had a pretty productive holiday and managed to get quite a lot done the last few weeks! I managed to get all the control arms installed as well as the front bags and brakes.

I’m jealous of yours already being prepped and ready for the next stage. I’m so ready to be that far.
