That's great I'm glad to see you got another truck....

berencam · 03-14-2008, 11:26 AM

Got the intake and carb on and torqued down tonight. Going reinstall the radiator and hoses tomorrow and hope the leak is fixed...

berencam · 03-15-2008, 03:19 AM

well bad news, got the radiator installed and all the hoses and filled with water and the block is indeed cracked so new block it is. on a lighter note i got the steering column finished with steering wheel.

texanidiot25 · 03-15-2008, 03:33 AM

Bummer man.

What pics of the auto's (TH350?) linkage do you need? I can grab some on saturday when I get to my truck.

berencam · 03-15-2008, 03:42 AM

just how the linkage hooks up to the tranny itself, but longhorn already got me one pic. more pics wont hurt tho

texanidiot25 · 03-15-2008, 04:07 AM

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=263647 < good pics and diagrams from when I was searching for the shift linkage on my truck.

**Boog** · 03-15-2008, 05:32 AM

Sorry to hear about the block B. I've been there. Well at least you have fresh heads to put on another one...

berencam · 03-15-2008, 06:24 AM

And now i can justify buying a engine hoist hehe, thats the spirit right :P

**Boog** · 03-15-2008, 06:46 AM

Well if ya can't borrow one maybe rent one at a tool rental store. We have several around here that rent portable cement mixers, commercial grade lawn mowers, sewer tools and lot's of other stuff. I rented an engine lift from one for a weekend once. Later on I bought my own from Sam's Club wholesale ( a division of and sort of like Walmart). I think I got a nice one for about $168 with engine leveling tool also. It folds up and doesn't take up much room at all in my shop.

berencam · 03-15-2008, 06:53 AM

well 168 is alot better than the 280 for the one at o-reilly. theres a sams up in springfield im pretty close to there.

**Boog** · 03-15-2008, 07:13 AM

280? YOW! For some guy who won't be using the thing very often he don't need to spend all that much but for someone say in a commercial garage he will be better off getting a much heavier duty tool.
The current trend in tools is to put decals on them like AC Delco, Goodyear, Nascar, etc. Name brand decals make them worth more.....sheesh!

Anyway mine seems to be braced real good and plenty stout for all my needs. Shop around and you can save some bucks.

stonewall618 · 03-20-2008, 01:23 AM

dude glad to hear/see that you got a new truck... sucks about the block (r-tards) but still you get a new one now... good luck with the truck hope it all works out

berencam · 03-27-2008, 08:36 AM

and now for the new ponies
picked up a 350 block bored 30 over and all the rotating assembly.
the block was line bored, decked, honed and has the cam bearings and freeze plugs installed.
the crank was balanced
summit flat top pistons
crane cam and lifters #10017
sealed power rings and bearings
starter, and serpentine belt system.
got it all for 450 bucks.

stonewall618 · 03-28-2008, 05:07 AM

NICE... looking good

berencam · 04-01-2008, 03:36 AM

Well i got the engine hoist and stand over to my shed from my dads house. So tuesday i should be able to spray some paint on the engine and start assemblling it. ill get some more pictures up when i can.

stonewall618 · 04-01-2008, 06:27 AM

looks like you still need a new grill...

berencam · 04-01-2008, 06:28 AM

yea, thats a ways down the list tho lol. probably next to the last thing ill do.

stonewall618 · 04-01-2008, 06:37 AM

lol it still doesnt look bad... expecually for what you have payed and what you have in it it...

berencam · 04-01-2008, 08:13 AM

yes, i have about 2500 in it right now with all the engine parts and the crappy wheels i had to get due to theft.

berencam · 04-03-2008, 09:21 AM

got my new block on the stand today and started masking, forgot to take picks of masking. Hope to spray some paint tomorrow.

berencam · 04-10-2008, 08:29 AM

well got the engine masked and first coat of paint on it. the pics dont do it justice, its turning out good. Ill try and get some day pics of it tomorrow

bobbo · 04-10-2008, 01:30 PM

Looking good!

There is a tool shop on Kearney here in Springfield that I had bought a fold up engine hoist years ago. I think I gave $130 or so for it (can't remember for sure). May want to check it out. When you get ready to go looking give me a call, we can check it out. I'm not sure exact side streets that it is by so we can cruise up there together...

84 400 · 04-10-2008, 07:52 PM

yeah if your looking for a hoist check your local cregslist. I got a fold up hoist and a stand for $60. They are just tori/big red brand but for me it will be fine.

Liking the project and great to see you back at one of these trucks.
Nice wheel by the way I think I have the same one Do they still make them or is that used?

used one repainted flat black, and a new chrome horn button.

as far as the hoist goes, my dad let me use his. so i dont need to buy one.

berencam · 04-11-2008, 03:12 AM

got the engine finished painted, and started assembly i got the crank installed so the rest should start going pretty fast
