Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Your short pump pulleys needs to come off of a 72 and earlier truck. They went to long pumps in 73. That's why you're having pulley alignment issues.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
No sir. Cars, excepting Vettes went to long pumps in 69, I do believe. Trucks held onto short pumps until 73 for sure. Any 70 whatever Nova will absolutely be long pump. Vettes kept short pump till 81.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Pretty good day despite distractions and multiple trips to the hardware store.
Got the bolts to mount up the flex plate and got the tranny attached to the motor. Everything went together fairly smooth.  I did overlook during mockup that the fuel pump would hit the frame. A quick cut with the jig saw and some grinding and it was fixed.    Off the jack stands and pushed outside so I could clean out the shop!!

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
OK SBC in a AD guys. Using stock gauges and my oil pressure line and temp sensor are not long enough.
Any solutions? |

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Oil pressure line - get a new / longer copper tube with fittings from the local auto parts store.
For the temp gauge I've never figured out how to use the stock temp sensor. I've just used an after market electric guage |

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Spent the last couple nights in the garage trying to get tings buttoned up.
Last night I got most of the wiring done. I mounted the Lokar shifter. Looks I will need to buy the additional kit to ket the shifter a little further away from the seat. I have 3 people in the cab fairly often......the leg room can be an issue. Today after work I crawled under 20+ mid 70's 2 x 4 chevy and gmc trucks looking for a driveshaft and yoke for my TH350. Found the yoke, but no driveshafts. Also found a good donor for a long pump and alternator brackets!!  When I got home I cleaned everything up and gave it a rattle can facelift.  I mocked up my throttle linkage, along with bolted up the bracket for the TH350 kickdown cable. The cable itself is short. Not the housing, it reaches fine, but the physical cable seems to short even after adjusting it. I assume they come in different lengths?  I am pretty happy with the linkage, although the pedal sure feels different than compared to the old 6 cyl carb. Pedal travel is minimal..... |

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
WE HAVE A RUNNER!!!
Today was the day.....fired it up!! Work has been a real ***** lately.....so time to work on Henry has been tough to come by. Slowly but surely, I was able to button it all up and do a test fire today.    Fired right up and we were able to time it and do some tuning on the carb.  Punch list items: Exhaust Driveshaft (need to locate a 64" long one) Hook up Lokar shifter (waiting for forward mount kit) Air filter spacer bleed brakes Breathers for valve covers  The stock valve covers have 7/8" holes. Any ideas on breathers for them? |

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
I would recommend running 1 breather and 1 PCV (you have the port on the carb) to eliminate pesky smoke from coming out of the breathers. Congrats on your progress.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
