Open up my 400 B block today...

LOL...I thought you were catching UP on projects, not starting new ones. I’m so far behind I can’t see the 8 ball.

Just got delt a set back... UGH!

The Duster this 400 resides in (not much longer though) is waiting for the 340 (other thread) which is a torque converter and driveshaft away. I’m also waiting on a spring relocation kit to arrive. I have miles to go for an effective, responsive & SAFE ride. 4 wheel manual drums do me no warm fuzzy feelings at speed.

The 340 will be a pacifier for now. A few track runs and back alley meets to beat up on a few other NA guys. As you seen, it’s not so HOT but it will provide some stress relief.

I only have the above pictured B block intake and carb set up as well as a M1 & race TQ for the B engine. It would be starting from scratch otherwise. I have plenty of small block stuff to play with and hence will go forth down that tunnel.

I’ll continue collecting B engine parts for later. When later occurs, later occurs. As it is now, I have to take a step backwards, re do an over site which will wait until spring.

This Duster was to be here at my house next year. It’s early arrival was my (1st of many) retirement projects. So I’m starting in on it early. I’ve been waiting a long time to dig into something that I can give teeth too. I’ll do it in baby steps.

That and I need a break from the other car before I go crazy.
