Today I welded what I thought were two cracks in a 440 block I sold a while back. It turned out to be an old weld repair that had sort of come loose on one end. The other end was not really a crack, just a different material. There were some inclusions so I had to grind it down a bit. I...

Cleaned up the 850dp for the stroker and one of the 450:s for the 273. Guess which one.

Look what I got! NIB 10 liter ultrasonic cleaner for $300. Price at Biltema today $500. Well worth a trip in to town. I’ve got the dual quad holleys for the tunnel ram to clean up as well as the 850 for the stroker. Will definitely come in handy!

I got the carbs from Finland the other day! Can’t wait to get this going!

80:- Du you have my number?

Nice looking project! The 360 and 727 have been sold. Right now I have a 400 stroker (500 cui) on a stand in the garage but I’m building a 273 to go in it and will be selling the big block. You need a center sump to work in a passenger car. If the one you have is rear sump, it’s for a truck, I...

Yes. I’m not sure where I end up but I’ll be port matching the heads and intake so I think I’ll sort it out eventually. Did you get the calendars, btw?

I got myself an electric die grinder the other day and read up a little on the 38 heads. I got a (poor) copy of the Direct Connection porting templates but after some scouting I decided I didn’t need them :eek: I only have short bits so far, longer bits are on their way. This is where I’m at so...

I want to get the compression up so I need to deck and shave regardless. Got your calendars in an envelope, btw. In the box tomorrow!

Re-did the molding since I found that I probably didn’t have the pushrods quite snug. Exhaust valve clearance is about 3mm and intake about 4. Still without head gaskets so there can still be shaving.

Got a proper molding of the piston to valve clearance. Way too much. This is without head gasket. There’s about 1/4” (6mm) at the valve and 5/32” (4mm) in the quench area. There will be shaving.

Alright! Two 450 holleys on their way, too.

I've acquired a nice Weiand tunnel ram for my 273 build and now I need the carbs to go on top of it! Do you have a pair collecting dust? Sell them to me! I'm open to buying two separate ones too if the stars align, of course. Suggestions so far: - Holley 1850-2 600 cfm vacuum secondaries. So...

Thread is marked as [SOLD]. Thanks for the pointer, though!!

I wouldn’t know, to be honest. I’ll slap some tape on it if it doesn’t line up. Thanks for alerting me to this possible issue!
