Re: 72 K30 Build
I hired the neighbor kid to break most of it up and help me get it into the bed of my truck. Saved my back for sure!

Re: 72 K30 Build
It’s time, finally pulled the bag off our new motor last week. Installed a missing rear cam plug and got it on the engine stand. Need to swap and steal a few parts off the 402 so bolted it on the old stand temporarily for safety.
We had an old car show buddy of mine get crushed last year under his blown 69 Camaro, they found him several days later. I think about him when I'm getting under something heavy these days a big block in the head or lap might hurt just a bit.

Re: 72 K30 Build
That's a good question, I really think orange looks great but I'm still leaning a little towards black with this one. Got to buy paint soon so we'll all know for sure in a couple more days.
![]() I’ve got another pan that’s kind of beat up I’ll put on the parts motor. This one looks to clean up much better I think. So internally balanced flex plate, factory pan with dipstick, spin on filter adaptor, intake and old oil pump so we can make sure to get the right pickup. Should be everything we are going to need for now.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Very nice. I like the contrast between the frame and axle. Shoot, the way you're making progress, you may drive yours before I drive mine again.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks flashed, I think you’ll like today’s post.

![]() Thanks Scott your making big progress! And now the back is off the stands also. It’s not as complete as the frontend we still have a few things to address (finalize parking brake, diff fluid etc.). We’re still planning on dropping the diff down to clear the spring packs to bleed the brake system, so the final spring, shock, u bolt torque will wait also. But hey tada, it does roll!

Re: 72 K30 Build
Scored this crusty factory big block 8” balancer timing cover from a friend? He only charged me $12 and told the seal was no charge!

Re: 72 K30 Build
Hey now that's a thought Mike, uh no!
![]() ![]() This setup has got to save us some gas don’t you think? ![]() Mating an 850 double pumper to the old spread bore performer using a couple of square base gaskets and a 1/8” square plate in between is not quite enough to clear the primaries so a little shave on the center divider will get us the rest of the way. Our factory type breather setup to the air cleaner base we are going to run can’t accommodate a large adaptor/spacer because of the angle it will create, also I believe the divided plenum helps with low end torque. So I’m trying to keep as much of the intake divider in place as possible. Soaking some areas with gunk before a trip to the solvo sink hoping it cleans up good enough and that it doesn’t have to be painted.
