they built my last motor Chad is a cool guy I went there toured the shop shot the **** ect and after I installed it he gave me a few tunes to try out

man i know everyone said dont go with the bb but i'm finding so many of them that are already built ... for cheap *sigh* (note to self.... be patient .. dont rush into anything) lol

ok i picked up an unfinished project tonight.

block is 14010207-1980-85 4bolt main

heads are 3927186- 1969-70 camel hump heads

super charger i cant figure out. the two sets of numbers on it are 5120726 and 5114442

also came with electric water pump, new push rods, morosa oil pan and a few other things....... did i do good? only thing is a dont like how big that charger is i'm thinking i'll have to go cowl hood. also it has two scare openings for the carbs but id rather have a single carb.. any body know if i can just use one?

any suggestions on what i should do for the bottom end? it has the crank rods and pistons in it but i have no clue what they are. when i break it down i'll run the numbers. please chime in.

Did you get the rest of the supercharger? the nose cone. pulleys, etc.
I say do it right the 1st time. Buy the best you can afford for the lowerend.

P.S. thats not gonna be fitting UNDER any hood.

should be a great build and a fun car when done. Plan to upgrade the trans,rearend,suspention in the future.

Looks like a 6-71, but cant say for sure its not an 8-71 from the pic

Either way this is a FAR cry from a LT1 build

Personally, Id sell the parts for whatever you can get. I wouldnt get into that old tech

thanks pocket and fst. ya i'm was thinking about weather or not i should just sell it and get something a little easier to work with. i would still have to get the cone for it and the carbs. but man i'd have a mean motor.... decisions decisions

Did you trade that for the boat? I hope you got a hell of a deal on it all.

Your going to spend enough $ rebuilding that combo you could have got a LSx combo out of a wrecked car. or a LT1/T56 combo.

89fbrestor

ya i traded the boat for it all. i got more then what is in the pictures. and the boat needed new interior pretty bad. it was a fair trade, i do still need the nose/cone for the charger and a pair of carbs and that should be it unless i decide to do something different with the lower end.... which i kinda am thinking lol a stroker would be fun i have to pull the bottom out and see what they used before i decide.

I wouldnt put a stroker kit under that big of a blower. Stock 350 stroke, very low compression forged pistons. Those things get HOT

89fbrestor

ya been reading up on this blower... might be a little more work then its worth.

If you got it COMPLETE id say use it. Then again shop around/ look at swap meets , etc. You could find the rest of the stuff needed.

Look up flirtin1 he has a nice roots blower setup. maybe can give you some pointers where to find the rest of the parts you would need.

lunati397

ebay the blower or trade up there are tons of times i trade one thing then trade what I just got and again to get what I really wanted

nice score though

89fbrestor

thanks for the tips guys. i think i'm going to trade it for parts i need. i still have to pull this motor apart and make sure everything is good and i still need an intake and carb and headers. i have a guy who offered all of that to me last night for the charger.
