I'm using mother's metal polish and strips of microfiber rags wrapped around the journals. It's always seemed to do the trick for me ill add some before and after shots I'm still not done yet but she's looking good

Forgot to add a picture of the cam card.

I have been doing a bunch of spending unfortunately lol and a bit of wrenching. I popped the cylinder heads off to find bits of plastic from the air intake burnt on the tops of a couple pistons and a decent sized chunk lodged in 1 of the spark plugs. When the van was wrecked it obviously sucked...

Yessir quite a few things needs attention I have most parts here and the rest inbound. Thanks for the link that was a good read

Well I did a thing yesterday🤔.. picked up a l96 out of a 2011 van with only 83k. For those who don't know the l96 is a fourth generation 6.0 iron block LS. They come with 823 heads which are essentially the equivalent to the poor mans LS3 heads. It made 360hp and 380 torque in factory trim, so...

Can anyone tell me how to attach a video? I was able to get her to idle today

Put in a little bit of work today wiring so I could fire this thing up for the first time. I wasn't able to get it to idle before I had to quit for the day but she fired up a few times. I'll try to attach a short clip my buddies son took he was quite excited

Thank you sir. I'm quite found of the motor myself lol.

Thanks guys. It's definitely a load off my shoulders, I was stressing about getting it right that's for sure. I'm happy with how it turned out and proud of the progress so far.. A bunch of stuff came in today including the wire I ordered to get the msd box all wired in so I can get this thing...

I'm hoping it is bulletproof lol. Yeah the lack of overdrive is what originally kept me from going th400 but it is what it is. I was able to get the engine mounted today I posted some pictures.

Well it took a lot of patience even more trial and error but I finally got the engine mounted. Not a ton of room between the frame rails for exhaust so I'm thinking I'm gonna run straight pipes out the fenders, what is commonly referred to as hater pipes. I am considering cutting the hood and...

I have been working the past couple days on getting the motor slid in there to no avail. The gentleman who I got the car from had welded in frame side mounts for an LS or so he said prior to me getting it. He did have an LS sitting in the bay when I went to look at the car, but there is...

Decided not to build the 700r4 picked up a th400 with low mileage out of a motor home with a 6.5 diesel in front of it, so it has straight cut planetary's instead of helical. Supposedly it has a shift kit time will tell. Came with a deep pan, 2800 sun coast converter and a lokar dipstick so I...

Yessir thanks.. I'm over it but it's gotta get done lol

I scored a sonnax smart input drum and 5pin planetary's brand new for 250 shipped definitely can't beat that. If anyone needs the hook up for sonnax parts I have the guy.

Only got about 30 minutes free to work. Slowly but surely finishing up the passenger side.

Got back to work on the floors some more today. I didn't get a whole lot done, I was moving at a snail's pace because my back was really getting to me but I kept at it a good portion of the afternoon. I'm just about done with the passenger side. I will be so happy when it's over this is so...

Had to get creative to get the servo cover off, I knew she was a little stuck as I had tried removing it while it was still in my truck some years ago to put a vett servo in and no dice. I also messed with it a little back in the fall when I threw the transmission on my bench but quickly got fed...

Well the input drum is broken.. I can get a OEM remanufactured unit for 65 bucks but I'm concerned that it would just do the same thing as It seems to be a bit of a common issue. I would really like the sonnax smart input drum that does away with the snap ring and utilizes a bolt in retainer...
