I started with a truck that was so dirty it was black. 400SBC TH350 Locked up rear end I'll show some pics of after washing 5 times more after 10 washings.

I'm not done, long ways to go. What do you think.

**Boog** · 01-31-2005, 12:26 AM

You did a bit more than just wash it! LOL

Super Job!! It looks like mine, except mine is a long bed. What year is your truck?

Nice job. I caught the valve cover trick.

Just curious which heads (casting numbers) you used to support that 406? Are they a set of the more common 081's or 191's?

ureckme · 01-31-2005, 04:22 AM

I dont remember the cast # I got the heads from a low Hrs. Mercruser 5.0L HO moter. Ported big time 194 / 150 165cc runners. Any way there just temp. I have a set of Sportsman ll heads going on soon. When I get headers. Oh the new heads 2.02 1.60 64cc Angle plug 200cc runners. I got a deal on them

badone07 · 01-31-2005, 02:22 PM

Ok, probably 081's or equivalent. The 191's/193's (tbi swirl ports) are around 168cc in stock form. Should be nice with the upgrades.

ureckme · 02-01-2005, 06:15 AM

I didn't use the swirl port heads my machinist said not to use them. The heads I have I did alot of bowl work and smothing bumps. They flow more then a stock 2.02 head even with the 1.94s that are in them. They screeeeem!

yfs200p · 02-03-2005, 07:13 PM

hey i was wondering what you used to clean your engine compartment. i have some mud on my motor, and i used GUNK engine brite, and it looked great while it was wet, but then like 2 hours later when it dried, all the dirt was there again..... any ideas? thanks

ureckme · 02-03-2005, 09:44 PM

Castrol purple cleaner, comes in a gl. bottel at the parts store and a steam cleaner. Then I pulled the engine and had it vatted when I rebuilt it. Matt

BowTieMan · 02-07-2005, 12:14 AM

How do you pass emissions with the 406? I am from Glendale and I am wanting to start an old chevy truck project But I am worried about passing emissions with a bigger cam and carb.

ureckme · 02-07-2005, 12:35 AM

If your running a Holley carb I'v got it down the other carbs.( no ) Im a little out of practice, This is my first hot rod in 20 years. I mostly ran Big Block Mopars and Fords. My Ford had a 538 lift 308 der cam, and a Holley DP and had no trouble passing the state tests. I would pull in the building and it would shake the hole place. The guys there took one look at the truck and said, It wont pass. They ate every word. I got a 1.28 out of a max 4.00 HC. As long as the carb is setup right,( no problem ) If you have any questions Email me at ureckmefix@cox.net Matt
