Hey David thank you for the tip, I will search for alternatives.

Gear Man was where I had mine 8.75 done 10382 Stadford Avenue, Garden Grove

As of late been measuring and determining appropriate parts for application. So far in my findings. Keith Black #107 0.040 Thank you for the possible 340 connecting rods TQC would now be a boss hog nightstalker Added to the list above would make a stout build if possible and machining after mock...

Update- So I have been fortunate enough to say first off a many big thank yous to you guys here and all around the CA LA areas for giving me the parts to make this dream of a ride... Now to thank David Watson for selling me his magizine 340 1971 Truck Block with stock bore cylinders...

Past events in the few years made me fortunate to aquire a 1998 5.9 Magnum. It has now been machine cleaned. Is stock bore, heads to my uncles eyes recognized the heads have been already fixed from any cracking. To assure this, it was magnafluxed. Crankshaft is to be measured, the journals looks...

Update- Got a 5.9 Magnum

While my oppurtunity is still present, 340 forged crank or 360 r turned down crankshaft?

Doubt anyone will have a deal for a 360. Let alone gas money and extra 50 lbs they bring with them. Spring fling has suprised me beforr though.

Plan is to re gasket Blue 72, to my knowledge bone stock, slap together performer and 650 on for now. 86 is from you guys say will be a one I want to take time on to do right. Ran before I pulled but leaked everywhere. Wanna maybe go with magnum aluminum heads. Shame too, 86 heads were 302 j...

Thanks fellas, I know time is need to do this work. Clay Smith shop is not far from me so when I really get the chance I would send a block there. Until then working out of my garage. Hyd to solid a swap and go, or machining needed?

Guilty, learning on budweiser budget with champange taste until budget provides luxuries. One need to run sooner the later, while other gets to sit until better parts come along.

400 at flywheel, less is fine aswell with what is around. 360 would be nice but people are asking to much for those lately. Would like a 360 crank to cram into either 318. performer intake and holley 650 with 1 inch spacer. Rockers on 86 are blown through aswell aswell head leak.

Plan is to have a spare short block, swap heads and aim to have 400 fwhp down the line from one of the 2. Needed to know what would interchange to keep, remove to sell, and what to toss.

Heads leak bad on 86, thank you for mentioning heads can interchange, 340 crank was for future build with 86 and maybe sometime aluminum heads, and said rockers. 86 has speedpro hyper .030 over pistons, isky 270 hyd cam. 72 was for noatalgia type drivetrain. Conver 86 to solid then.WAY LATER...
