Hey man I’m the guy that you got this from! Mind if I message you?

Wow almost a year later but I have some updates. I ended up putting the car on a buddies lift and removing the converter. Shaved off the weights and slammed it back together. Was able to finally drive it with way less vibration finally. Been driving it and enjoying but I honestly miss the 904...

Any updates Alex?

I love the update! Sweet build and great quality work!

Any updates?

Any updates Dave?

Welcome aboard! I look forward to seein the progress! 440 is a great motor and would be lots of fun but I personally love small blocks!

I considered that but wasn’t sure if it would be neutral balanced without that. Have you done this?

Hey everyone I just wanted to finally stop and give a quick update. I ended up buying a house and have done very little with my Scamp. I was able to find out what my vibration is and turns out my torque converter has a weight on it because it was set up for a 360. from my little research I need...

Its really bad on decal after about 70. I'm getting new tires this weekend and upon closer inspection today I found that the motor mount bolts were loose and seem to be the wrong size. So getting new bolts and correcting that tomorrow afternoon along with new Percy Seal 4 Good exhaust gaskets...

Been busy and haven’t had a chance to update everyone. I got my car started on Jan 2, broke in the cam, adjusted my shifter and kick down, and got to take it for a first drive! Everything was working well so I said a prayer and took the 3 hour drive from where it was stored to where I was...

Well motor and transmission is in! Took 2 weekends and some cursing but it’s in. When I first went to drop the engine and trans in I learned that my cherry picker wasn’t gonna let me do both at the same time. So I dropped the engine in. Next to get the trans in with a tiny little jack I put a...

Honestly I cut mine apart 3 different times . As for a just direct replacement it works good but the diagram for the ignition isn’t right. If your gonna modify and change things then I say do your own and make it the way you want it. Eventually I will rewire it again to use relays and such...

Motor is done and currently sitting on my cherry picker waiting to be installed. Making a parts run in the morning then getting as much as I can done! I will update tomorrow

Update time once again. Block is bored 30 over got my KB167 pistons in and had the block balanced. Heads are still 318 heads but have the 360 valves installed and have been ported and polished by my mentor. Found out my old oil pan was junk because of how beat it was so bought a new one and had...

Man I read this thread again and holy cow I changed my mind so many times. Time for an update. My 727 is rebuilt and almost ready to install, I took apart the 360 and it was worn so I ended up selling it and going back to my 318. It’s currently headed to the machine shop being bored to .030 over...

Well not much of an update but I got my headliner and I’m going to be installing it soon. Tomorrow night is my 360 tear down and paint. Then installing a set of 318 heads that are ported and polished and fitted with larger valves. I’m still trying to figure a camshaft for it though so if you...

what an update! Badass to see all that you’ve done! Any reason you changed your motor to the 408 stroker?

Update time! I’ve got most of my interior installed! Whooooo this is a big visual step and is amazing to see it all. Really motivates me! My dash turned out pretty well I think and I’ve still got room to grow and add more stuff so I’m happy. I also got my new to me windshield installed. So for...

Hey everyone. So I decided that I wanted to change up my dash so I chopped it up and welded up my new design! Got it all mocked in the car and it’s going to be awesome! This week I plan on getting the autometer ultra lites installed along with my switch panel and heater control. The goal is to...

Well engine bay is pretty much done. Just gotta clean up some of my mess ups throw another coat and go on to the bodywork!

Found a 1974 scamp go use for parts. Car has some nice interior parts that are going into my car. The 360 is still sitting in my shop right next to my 727 quietly awaiting there turn to be built up and refreshed.

Been a crazy week. Got the motor pulled and started to weld up the whole then my girlfriends ignition switch in her Honda went out. So the money that was going to go into deathtrap went to buying a whole new ignition switch and getting it installed.

Wow it's been over a month sense my last update! Sadly not much has happened. I left off prepping to put in my spare 727 but I pulled the pan off of that and there was metal shavings all over. So I currently have both my old 904 and the 727 sitting on a pallet at my work waiting for a rebuild...

Love to see the progress! I'm starting bodywork the end of this month and I hope it comes out half as well as yours!

Got off work and spend a bit of time working on the car. Transmission is almost out. Just gotta figure out how to take apart the shifter linkage and then unbolt it and drop it. Got my 727 transported to work and went to put a new filter on it. Pulled the pan off and found a nice metallic paste...

I took the pan and cleaned it out. The amount of crud was disheartening. This 904 will go into my shop and be my learning opportunity on rebuild transmissions. But for the short time I will be installing the 727 to get it up and running again. I know I will need to get my driveshaft cut down but...

So this past weekend I was working on my car in the shop at work. I went to rev it and see if my new voltage regulator was working correctly and my 904 made a loud clank and surged forward while the car was in park. I dropped the trans pan and found some things which are apparently not supposed...

Just stumbled across this thread. Great work and I can't wait to see it continue!

Hey everyone. So yesterday I was in my shop working on my car (74 Scamp with a 360 & 904 with shift kit set up). I just replaced the voltage regulator so I hopped in and revved it in park to watch my volts. And the car all of a sudden surged forward and made a clank noise. I investigated and...
