Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Thanks guys! I can't wait to get that 327 in and see how she runs. It's been a labor of love and I'm glad a fresh engine is going in.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
So we got a call from Carlos on Sunday afternoon. He was all hyped up to do an engine swap. He had to talk us into it, but in the end we went for it. Pulled out the 283, did some cleaning and painting and dropped in the fresh 327. We worked until almost midnight and got about 80% of the swap complete.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
At the end of the night we were out of gas...super tired. So we called it a night. I played hookie yesterday to finish it up. Had it fired up before lunchtime. What a beautiful tune!!! She's a good motor... sounds very solid and you can feel the difference in power. SUCCESS!!!

That engine is looking good down in there! Thanks for updating us and sharing the pictures of your engine swap. It is always a great feeling to get the new engine all the way in and fired up!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Thanks guys! After work last night, we went out cruising the town... putting in some break in miles. We are very happy with the results. She let me drive it to work again too.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Man I have read this thread from start to end a couple times, you and your wife have a great combo going on!
Nice to see other people like my wife and I that can share something like this, though to date it has been our convertible Ponitacs for us. I am just happy that she comes down to the garage to help me on my stepside. Congrats on the new engine, I bet it is just sweet as hell!! Can't stop grinning for ya....

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Snuck out of work a tad bit early yesterday with all the parts and supplies needed for the TBI conversion and went to the shop. Carlos and I worked until after 10PM last night and we got it done! What a difference!!!!! It still needs to be fine tuned and a few loose ends still need to be buttoned up, but that 327 runs like a beast with the injection!! We spent a good half hour raising hell on the streets around the shop after we Carlos got it running. I'll be going by the shop again tonight to do the fine tuning and clean up the wiring...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
We went with the Carter GP5001 inline TBI fuel pump. Actually sounds pretty cool...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Big thanks to fellow member "turbostar" from Ruidoso, NM for hooking us up with a tank set up with a return line. We ended up just using the sending unit... works awesome!!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
The truck's running "okay", but we still need to work some bugs out. The junkyard distributor that we are currently running seems to be the culprit. She starts and runs fine, but at cruise speeds you can feel it kind of pulsating. Carlos said it looked a little worn when we dropped it in. So I'll be ordering a new one soon... I'm also going to find another, bigger fuel filter to run as the one that's in there now seems to be a little small for the new, higher pressure system...
