The engine is coming togheter step by step aswell, crank is back in the block and two pistons with rings aswell. I realy prefer to bring old blown up or worn out racengines to life over these engines ripped out of neglected dailydrivers. A worn out or blown up race engine is most of the time...

oh and yeah i just couldnt help myself,of course i had to practice my skills as a painter some more in case i ever want to start a brand new failure known as "terrible paint with drips and runs inc"

The i made the final piece out of 1.2mm sheetmetal. Thats metric and im sure it can be converted into both fractions out of inches or decimalinches (in any of the comonly used flavours of inches,old Swedish inches,withworth or why not imperial) aswell as gauges but its probably ok this way to...

Then i figured,i just cant have an oilpan without a baffle,why i need a baffle to drive to get me a burger or tunnbrödsrull i have no idea but i just couldnt help myself. Oh and yeah i know i shouldnt be left anywhere near sheetmetal with tools but i guess i just had to learn that lesson again...

Painted white.

Tank in primer

Got a few more things done, the 20 year old plastic fuelcell is probably not a good idea,so why not spend some more money and do the right thing the somewhat right way. The new fueltank has a a 3/8" outlet and a 5/16 return, aswell as a fuellevel sender,that will be a nice feature,im probably...

Cool those are not as comon as they used to be!

got alitle done inside the car.

broken pistons for future reference and the fact that people tend to like pictures.

Hammered in the new cam bearings,that seemed to work ok,all the holes are in the right place and even tried putting a camshaft in them and yes it does spinn with ease so i guess i did something somewhat right.. Also descided on measuring the main bearings and they will be reused,they are all at...

Good to see you back on here!

Ok back on track,unless something goes sideways i think i have a plan for the engine that is somewhat doable. Will use the better block with its heads,crankshaft,lifters and pistonrings. will use the complete set of pistons out of the worse core,they are all stamped with id numbers and i just...

Brought home another 360 Magnum,this one came in the flavour better known as well done. Is the camshaft any better in this new specimen? well kind of but nope. Pistons then? well i did take a good look at two of them and i could not find any cracks in those two pieces so thats good since all i...
