I love red and orange on the doppler. Exciting stuff.

340. Thought it was a 408, but now i.m not sure...

Some reason I was thinkin' it was a BB.

Was a less than productive day. Waiting for snow to quit so i can plow it away..tomorrow more snow.

Sometimes Mother Nature is a factor!

Picked up a free 383. Siezed. Started pulling it apart or trying to today. Found it’s been apart before. 030 inches over and the heads(906) have been cut to a 2.14 intake but they kept the 1.74 exhaust. Looks like they at least gasket matched the ports too. The piston part numbers come back to a 11.5- 13:1 compression ratio. Someone had a very nice little 383.

It runs like one! Damn quick. I miss that car already. Now my 67 Dart is a 440. Not M code...

Sure not factory slugs in there. You get it apart, un froze?

Fenderwells, cast iron, B Body headers?

 

[krazykuda]

That's a nice looking truck. If the wife keeps painting you might have to add a winch : )

Did you say winch or wench???

Argh matey...

I can be in Wisconsin within an hour and a half drive from here and get some fresh cheese when I do get up there...

After all, Wisconsin's license plate says, "America's Dairyland"...

We are...and I can get fresh cheese pretty much anywhere here. Favorite is about 20 minutes away. 1 room cheese factory with just tables set up to sell. Bagging fresh cheese curds right in front of you. Nothing like fresh curds when cheese is still warm and squeaks when chewing.

Hooker headers, long tube...Fit ok, rub in a few places. That is the one thing I want to update on the engine pull.

If it snows here tomorrow I'll post a pic, then you'll know which or : )

Nope. Only managed to get the one piston and rod out. Can’t even get the cam out, number 8 cylinder, the two lifters are frozen in place solid. Along with one in cylinder 6 preventing the cam from moving out. Soaking everything in a mix of kerosene and atf type F. It’s worked before so we’ll see if it helps.

The pistons are the old heavy TRW L2293s

 

[krazykuda]

LOL oh yeah! Wind was a humming too!

You got a hummer from the wind???

I used to play hockey for about 10 or so years,have not had my feet in a set of iceskates for over 15Years,today i bought myself a new pair of skates and im going to try them tomorow lets hope i survive this...

We went to see a fight and a hockey game broke out...

That’ll be the next step. I’m really curious as to the cam. It’s in very nice shape it looks like so far.

It is not under a hood for a reason..

US 101 closed again south of Santa Barbara. They have a storm water issue apparently.

I told you to bring a canoe...

 

[Mopar Tim]

It is not under a hood for a reason..

And that is a lot of compression for a street car IMO.

 

[dukeboy440]

Anyone recall if the factory big block cams were single or three bolt cams?

I'll have to pick your brain on that sometime. I was looking for BB headers and it seemed after '69 they don't exist.

 

[dukeboy440]

Yeah, my guess right now would be a blown head gasket around cylinder 6/8. That’s where all the rust is.
