Never any bad ones really except the paint like a few others. In the speed shop a couple weeks ago with my son looking at buying a new Holley. Son, "But DAD it's shiny!" Me, "It's a close out and it's almost two hundred dollars cheaper than the dull one." Son, "It's still too shiny" Me, "Give...

Thanks. I should be trying it out this afternoon when we get it all pulled

Have a safe trip. If anywhere near Billings you need to camp in Red Lodge then take a trip through bear creek and see the old tin. or take the scenic route over the Beartooth onto Chief Joseph back around to bear creek

I already have a flywheel for the older engine. I wonder if the clutch and pressure plate from the 4.3 will fit. I need to get these parts and just start bolting up checking fitment

Thanks Dr. Mines the older style 2 piece rear main. This, all of the sudden, is turning into an expensive swap.[S

I have a guy that is selling everything from his 91-92 4.3 S10. I want to use the 5 speed/ hydraulic cluth in it behind my 350. This is no high horse animal. I know they will bolt up but I heard there are problems with the flywheel fitment. Does anyone know if I'm going to have to buy a $400...

The truth has been spoken right there. Around here you can hardly give away small blocks. Everyone is going LS engines

The only thing I haven't seen mentioned was a flat lobe on the cam.

I have a '70 Chevy pickup non power MC with all '83 Olds brakes discfront/ drum rear and proportioning valve from the same Olds. Stops great

Great story Sgt. I've always used brake cleaner for cuts and scrapes. The kids always watched when I'd get a cut or metal sliver, spray it then tape it up. The first time the oldest got his finger gashed open on the lip of his fender, well he calmly walked over to the bench ( I didn't know he...

You could go up to 220 to 230 duration and still have some decent milage and power. You probably want to do some porting on that cast iron 283 intake also to open it up. personally I'd look for a different intake. Them stock 4 barrel small displacement intakes around here are going for a lot...

Is there a port below the head in the block on newer big blocks? :confused: I'd put it in the head. Head temp is crucial

Thanks everyone. The engine was supposed to be a 350. The machine shop called and it had several cracks that we didnt see on disassembly. So I gave him my '68 327 to put in it. It's a mild one, Dart heads, roller rockers, 270 cam, flat tops. Its a very nice cruiser.

LOL Before The Binder was still the Olds (fun/drag car) I had it parked out back in the alley on our property. The neighbor called the city, I got a letter same as yours and I simply asked what I could do. They said park it out front if it had tags. I said OK. The next day the nosy neighbor...

A little update the new engine went in He is learning a lot because for some odd reason something happens to this thing every other friday We found a 12 bolt Next was the tranny th350 His Gramma spoiled him and had it painted and he threw some new wheels on it This photo made me...
