Looks better already since you evicted whomever had been living in there

Some how I feel they weren't telling the truth about running a year ago ?

Ouch!

Good thing a total rebuild is coming.

 

[Dartnut]

Can't wait to see what the inside of the tranny looks like.......

 

[moparnut777]

Will be a bit of work freeing it all up but i have all summer to put the fire in the hole. rat rod I like that.

 

[moparnut777]

This made me happy. #1 cap off and it looks really good , the bearing.

 

[magnumdart]

Is it a '68 block?

 

[moparnut777]

came out of a 1968 monaco.. build date 9 6 67

 

[fratzog lover]

I would send them the pics. You deserve a rebate!

 

[Darter6]

Don't get much for a buck and a half these days,.................:wack:

 

[RzeroB]

Great pic!

New technique for breaking the pistons free from the bores?

And here I am thinking that only Marvel Mystery Oil could possibly get the job done!

 

[mikebee]

you need another 383 to put those bearings in!looks like the 360 i pulled out of a 74 duster a couple years ago....bored 1 cilynder .100 thou. and still didn't get all the pits out.

 

[moparnut777]

[fratzog lover]

Magnumdart, where did you get the "before" pic of the pinions?

 

[magnumdart]

Magnumdart, where did you get the "before" pic of the pinions?

One of two places:
Forest City Gear Roscoe, Il. (Pretty sure here)
Or
Fox ValleyForge Aurora, Il.
Here is the matching components.

 

[moparnut777]

fill cyl. 1 inch of trans fluid and 1 oz. of gas , a strip for cotton . will burn for 2 hrs. 650 degrees at top of piston. 250 at block wall

 

[pauly]

Whole new meaning to "fire in the hole"!!!!

 

[Dragonbat13]

Didnt some magazine rebuild a 440 that had a tree growing through it?

 

[moparnut777]

Things look better with the trans. yeah !
