Sounds like a fun car! 5K shipped to your door and you can do whatever you want with it. No millionaire bank account needed. lol. Thanks!

Sledge hammer? Explosives? lol

Yes, had Texas plates, last known registration was in Texas in 1992. Pretty sure a military guy, found an army hospital medical card under the backseat when I pulled that out. I hope nothing is wrong with mine, I plan to use the pistons in the engine now. Read somewhere you can change out the...

I got the manual off mymopar. Thanks!

Thanks Richard, I have an automatic. Chatting with a guy with a 3854S on eBay but he doesn't seem interested in coming off his crazy high price. I'm in no hurry, it will be at least August before I can even start the engine rebuild. No plans to build any racer for sure. Even keeping the...

Sounds like I need to look harder for a carb. I believe you're correct that the edelbrock will need an adapter. I want the air cleaner to fit for sure. Who knows when this remanufactured 3858 was stuck on the car. I'll sell it as soon as I can find a 3854S. Thanks.

I saw one on there this morning that looked like it had been in a fire and they wanted $250. lol. I have a guy that can rebuild one if I can find a decent one somewhere. Can you see a VIN on the firewall on any of your 65's? I would like to find another location before my 551 inspection at...

My carb number is 3858. It's back on the car for now. Still have visions of getting it started at some point before pulling the engine. AI says carbs correct for that car: Edelbrock Performer 1404 Carburetor: 500 CFM, 4 Barrel, Square Bore, Manual Choke Inlet Holley 4160 Series 600 CFM 4 Bbl...

Perfect, scratching the new lifters idea. Will get factory ones refaced. Thanks.

Thanks, I had the cam located. Was just confused on what lifters since this cam isn't shown in any cam/lifter kit. This lifter keeps popping up, but count me out if these are $400 each. lol https://iskycams.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1853

I don't see a cam and lifter kit with the E-4 isky cam. Can you verify what lifters you used? Also if the original was solid lifter, how come when you search by year and make all 11 of the cam and lifter kits have hydraulic cams? I found that strange with the isky website.

Thanks. Already replaced the oil/filter. Aways run VR1 racing oil in my older cars for the zinc. New plugs, wires, battery, and coil. What should the carb be? I was getting ready to possibly rebuild it, but sounds like replacing it may be a better option. Not sure how to adjust valves. I...

The part of the fill tube that was inside the tank was rusting away too, so need to replace it also. It's a pain to get to. Other than that no issues, except the bottom of the car above where the tank set may always smell! Did a leak down test this evening. Was only holding 25% at cylinder...

Who wants it?

I'm not really over my head on the motor, since I'm not the one that will be doing the rebuild. I have the budget, just not the desire to spend thousands to end up with a pretend commando with a 318 or something. I would definitely entertain selling it if the motor isn't rebuildable. I agree...

Two hours from bull shoals.

I think I'll just take the pattern, but if you want to bring it down I'll put you to work for a few days!

Part # for rebuilders choice would be nice. I saw no way to even search items on their website. Edge for egge for ease of shopping! lol If the engine isn't rebuildable I may consider selling this car to someone on here who wants to drop a different motor in. Odometer shows 52700 and it may...

Stainless and unlike the rest of the original exhaust it's withstood the test of time. Not so for the large hole right behind the muffler in the pipe that goes over the rear axle. lol. I'll be looking for exhaust options also, and again would like to keep it mostly original. Thanks.

I believe I found the cam. https://iskycams.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=608

Read on axleaddict.com that they're on only game in town for a 10.5-1. What would you recommend instead? Hopefully I can just use the current pistons in the engine. Thanks.

Perfect. Casting number on block comes up 1964-1966 273 V8 so no reason to think this engine isn't original. I'm sure the transmission is to, just haven't got that far yet. Link to Isky cam? Been to the site and couldn't come up with anything searching E-4. Thanks for the advice.

All good points. If I find out the motor is wasted and can't be rebuilt I don't see dropping a 318 in. The car needs everything, and I think it loses a lot of its appeal if it becomes a commando look a like. It has set for 30 years. All the interior is now out, it needs everything from...

Will do! I'll take some more in the morning. I've changed all the fluids, new plugs and wires, coil, battery. I have a new tank but since part of the fill tube was rusted away I have to get it out of the floor before that can be put in. I have plenty of pics from when I picked it up also...

First I know there have been several 273 rebuild discussions here and I've learned a lot already reading through toolmanmike's build and others. Most of what I've found are builds of a 273 two barrel, or have a lot of technical information that I don't really understand. I already have the...

When did you order and when do you expect delivery? I'm also interested in the Waldron item. I'm reading this. So have they eliminated the resonator yet kept the price the same? The Arvin item is an extra $190. "Due to our manufacture loosing our pattern for the special tip, our last...

I'm told you have to disassemble the cargo space. Take the pass through door off. Remove the carpet. Remove the metal floor to get to the rubber boot. Sounds fun. Still have no idea how you would remove the metal floor when the fill pipe is running through it. I'm told you have to disassemble...

I'm beginning to think since it's being replaced anyway, why not just cut the thing in two. Should come out pretty easy in pieces.

No, I have what I assume is the original unvented gas cap. I did get out the degreaser and worked my way to the engine casting numbers last night. 2465330 - exactly what I was hoping to see. Now I have to figure out why anything I pour in the radiator runs straight out onto the floor from...

Interesting. Not sure what it's actually "venting" then.
