I'm going to bring mine back, most know the setup, but I'll go over it again in a new thread.

Dave has all the time in the world, not sure what is taking him so long. Me on the other hand, I work really long hours during the day, and at night, well, my nights can get insanely busy lol...

 

IS this thing ever gonna actually be done?

 

this. i wanna see some action.

 

im on it i just got another box o parrts from summit racing today , and i have one final box xcomming on friday , going to try to fire the engine up this weekend.

im rushing but im also not i have till spet 19th to have this thing ready

 

break in oil , new hv/hp oil pump , hardened oil pump drive , 1.5 inch polished 304 stainless tubing for radiator hoses , and my new o'neal riding boots in the box under everything else

 

Ugg. I just spent $600 at the machine shop boring and honing a block for my Corvette... Still need to buy pistons and rods.

What do you have for pistons and rods??

-- Joe

 

I have to check, the engine was oiled then wrapped up in the garage to keep it away from the elements, this is the last pic I took when it was last out...;

 

Oh gawd, put a lampshade on that thing and you're all set lol...

 

lmfao

 

Hahahahaha!! Thats a classic!!

 

 

if all goes well tonight i shouldhave the engine back in the car tonight , and hopefully doing the break in tommorow. ill take pictures of what i get done tonight

but the final parts showed up from summit today , the only thing i can think of that i dont have is some fittings for the oil return lines put i can pick those up at the hardware store

 

They got an fittings at your hardware store?

 

no i need some pipe fittings to weld to the pan to screw my an fittings into , i dont like the bulkhead fittings

i didnt get to work on the engine tonight but will tom, instead i helped my buddy get the one th350 torn down tonight , since i needed some parts out of it

the parts are going in a case, with a jw ultra bell and transbrake/manual vb

 

Make sure you check the clearance with that bell after you install your pump. You may need to grind it more so it sits flush and doesn't hit the case.

I think I had like .010" clearance on mine on the bottom. I suspect different pumps might have different depths as machine tolerances are not critical.

joe im missing 2 springs for the piston in the direct pack can u see if u have them laying around anywere?there was only 15 out of the 17 springs in the bag

ive also got to find out were i can pick up just the input to output shaft bushing

took 4 hours today to figure out there was 2 different height low/rev pistons
first one we were trying the clutches stacked up to high and had negative clearnace after measureing every single piece except the piston we finally figured it out

besdies that the steels i had for the low/rev only had 3 good ones out of the 5 needed , luckily my friend had a new in the box 700r4/4l60 kit and it uses the same steels



will be 3 weeks before my buddy is back in town to finish assembling the transmission for me so i have a lil time. for now im going to drop a stock 700 behind the engine and get it broken in

 

 

well i was going to take the day off but i said screw it , heading over to button up the bottom end of the engione and install it in the car , this way on monday i can wire it up and get the engine broken in

 

I've got nothing in the shop for springs.

How much are they?

-- Joe

 

dont know i sent pete@huges a pm on yellowbullet to see if i could buy them and how much


anychance u know were to get the output shaft bushing?my supposedly complete kit lacked the input to output shaft pushing

 

got the valves adjusted , checked all the bearings in the bottom end and retourged the main and rod bolts, installed the new hv/hp pump and pickup got the intake bolted on , last thinig to do was weld a fitting onto the oilpan for the single return line and i bought the wrong friggen pipe bung so i had to stop for the day.

ill run down to the hardware store in the am pick up the proper bung and weld up the oil pan so i can get thyat bolted on and get the engine filled with oil prime the motor and put it in the car for breakin

as of tonight when i left the shop


this is were my trans kit was missing a bushing


and the difference in between a stock and machined low rev piston

 

Let me know whatever the fee is and I'll take care of it.


You had the piston machined so you can run 5 frictions/5 steels right?

-- Joe

 

yeah u can see the difference in the 2 drums up above in the picture i posted, those guys dont have the bushing either , found some on ebay though , still waiting to hear back from huge's if i dont hear back by lunch time ill give them a call

edit never mind i think i missed it the first time i looked

34634 Powerglide TH350 bronze output shaft pilot bushing 1969-86
^^^ should be the bushing im looking for wish theese places would post pictures

been meaning to ask u does the tv/kickdown cable need to be hooked up withthat valve body? directions dont say

 

No TV cable plugged. In fact, the case I sent you is plugged.

Did street lethal vanish again? I PM'd him the other day about his 355. I need pistons and rods for my stingray.

-- Joe

 

hes around doesnt login every day i think, on my way over to the wshop to get some more work done hopefully ill be posting picvtures of the engine in the car today

 

I have a set of summit .30 hyper pistons and the stock connecting rods still on the stock pistons sitting around. And some moly .30 over piston rings. Idk what shipping would be, I was saving these for when I pulled the 350 out of the yukon but I'll let them go cause they're just sitting atm.

The pistons are brand new in the box flat tops, 2 valve reliefs, with brand new wrist pins, they're not floating though, press fit.

Only problem is the one wrist pin is bound in the one stock piston, idk if the connecting rod is ok to use or not. You'd have to press it out and check to see.

The connecting rods and stock pistons I'll do for free, just gotta take care of shipping.

 

44062 Bushing?


wittrans.com has a bunch of those

 

http://www.bulkpart.com/Merchant2/me...50-350Cbushing

 

seems to be it , i got a pm back from huges on yb.com , needed some more info from me so when i hear back from them ill see if they happen to have that bushing and just grab it from them when i get the springs for the direct piston

 

i hate to admit it but i didnt touch the car today , changed the oil and plug on my bike in the morning then came home for lunch and it looked like it was going to pour so didnt go back to the shop, of course it ended up only raining for a few mins

tommorow i have to wait for ups to show up as ive got a new pipe and fmf silencer showing up for the bike so tom ill prolly be installing that stuff instead of working on the car , i think i need a few days break from it anyways

on a good note huges is sending me the springs and the bushing im missing

 

took a day off from the car and installed the new silencer on my bike , now i gota rejet the carbs yet again

 

less bike updates more car updates

 

lol i didnt take the day off by choice bike is my daily driver atm since its so good on fuel and were going to get hit with some thuunder storms today , so didnt wanna get caught out in the rain if i rode over to the shop

ill be back on the car for sure tommorow , also heard back from huhges and the parts for my trans shipped out today via fedex

 

the front end needs to come down about another 1/2 to 1 inch

car should have paint on it this weekend

 

dropping some music here so i can grab the links easily in the shop tommorow
and
and

 

She's looking good Dave...

But, how dare you post a bunch of wannabe's when the kings are STILL out there playing...

 

Haha, Joe, I was in fact MIA for a little bit. Too much going on in my life, unfortunately. Engine is gone, local member picked it up days ago. Don't have much left to support both yours and Dave's builds other than a 7" Azpen Android Tablet that may use Megasquirt's Shadow Dash and Logger app and will fit in your radio area, haven't bothered to try and download MS though because I went with a full windows 7" tablet for my setup. I do have the MS apps on my Lenovo tablet though, I might sell that tablet too. Also have a Wii entertainment system in the box with two free games, and an additional three games, if anyone has kids...

- Rob

 

Oh well. Guess I'll buy some new rods and pistons.

I've got a cheap laptop for my MS in the fbody. The vette has a quadrajet

-- Joe

 

need some old school

 

Oh come on now brother, don't forget this one...

 

btw big update comming after this weekend , i will say im getting tons done but i dont wanna spoil it by letting everyone know whats up or posting pics just yet , expect some good pics and video on sunday night

 

Oh hellz no, you teased everyone long enough now lol. I think Justin has just about given up on you lol, so post something up today just as a teaser until Sunday night, you freaking owe it to these members lol...

 

ill do that tonight i need to grab some good pics when i head back to the shop in about 30 mins, dont expect driving vids yet though as posted above my trans is only half together

 

u know what this means paint is getting sprayed , need to touch up some spots witht he primer and seal it all tommorow, and then time to spray the base and clear

 

It's about time she got some paint on her. Do it right though bro, remove the hatch and doors to get in the jams the right way. If she comes out like the bike did she's gonna look sweet...

 

You have a drive on lift?

How is it?

I have a 2 post. I was thinking of also getting a drive on.

-- Joe

 

Here's some inspiration, get it done brother...!

 

its not mine its my buddys , it works well and even has alignment plates , he does alot of transmission and clutch jobs so he got the drive on,
his lift does have the sliding jacking plates as well so u can do suspension work on the lift , he just doesnt have the jacks.

i personally like the 2 post lifts better , but the 4 post is much easier to just get a car up in the air and do what u need to do

 

well its comming along , its all preped and ready to go except some minor masking
in the morning im going to prime and seal the hood and then seal the rest of the car. if i get done early enough i will spray the base and clear tommorow as well.

if not first thing sunday morning ill do the base and clear

wont be posting any pics till its done on sat or sunday night

 

song for the shop tommorow morning
