How does a primered hood rust??? Bummer on the tapping lifter and rear brakes. Sounds like an excuse for a new motor and rear disc brake conversion!

Re: And so it begins................
Yeah, fortunately my interior is in pretty good shape now otherwise she would have run.
Primer doesn't seal the metal. It's basically just a fill and sand step. I never got the sealer on it. As for the engine, I did want to rebuild it with some power additions but I wasn't ready to do it. The rear discs are definitely on my list but again, wasn't ready. Fortunately, my proportioning valve is doing it's job to a tee!! ![]() |

Re: And so it begins................
Personally, i would shop around for a good used Edelbrock Performer or similar intake, a new RV/ Torque type cam and lifter/ timing set and swap them on. My brothers and I did this with two different 402's back in the day. It makes a WORLD of difference, more so than bumping the compression up when we eventually rebuilt the engines. Those stock cams were really weak!

Re: And so it begins................
Well that's what I've been wondering. Exactly what cam they put in the engine. All I know is they dropped the 402 in '72 down to 240hp. I'm pretty sure they used the large chambered heads which aren't bad if I ever get a blower for the engine but I'd like to boil tires in the meantime. And my rear tires aren't easy to turn
![]() What year model were the 402's you did this upgrade on? And do you recall maybe what specs were on the cams you used? |

On a further note, my lifter quieted itself down this morning. ![]() I love a vehicle that will fix itself. Now I'm gonna check the rear resevoir on my master cylinder to see if it has filled itself up with brake fluid too!!!! ![]() Last edited by highperf4x4; 12-05-2009 at 01:14 PM. |

Re: And so it begins................
Awesome. I wish you could locate the info on those cams though!
![]() So all you guys did was the intake and camshaft? No shaving the heads or boring the cylinders? |

Re: And so it begins................
I'm sure he will be more than happy to help you cut the frame. It's getting it back together that may be the tricky part.
